A 19.5-inch cast iron fireback with a scallop shell design, for wood-burning and gas fireplaces to add historic charm and improve heat efficiency.
Since antiquity the scallop shell has symbolized the feminine principle, and this fireback brings that timeless iconography to your hearth. Cast in solid iron with a matte black finish, it serves both as a decorative focal point and a practical heat reflector, radiating warmth back into the room while protecting the firebox. A touch of elegance rooted in a tradition dating back to 15th-century Europe.
