Thomas Jeckyll Fire Grate/ Basket This antique Aesthetic Movement/ Victorian coal basket is in excellent condition with only some minor wear. Designed by Thomas Jeckyll (English, 1827-1881) Made by Barnard, Bishop & Barnards, Norfolk Iron Works c1875 (UK). Thomas Jeckyll is the architect of the famous "Peacock Room" which is installed at the Freer Gallery of Art in Washington DC until December 2015. It features a swiveling bottom grate and decorative lion's paw front pieces. The previous owner had it inside a Thomas Jeckyll "Cast Moth Signature" fireplace surround that was covered by a marble mantle via a recent remodel. He did not want to dismantle the marble work to reclaim the rest of the surround and was only selling the basket. The only flaw is a flat spot worn on one of the back wheels, which is stuck, and a very slight heat warp in the back plate (too subtle to show in the photos). This has never been painted but has a fresh coat of stove polish (carbon black). It measures 16 inches high to the top of the back plate, 23 inches at the widest point (front), the back is 16.5 inches wide and the front rail is 9.5 inches high. ALL OFFERS CONSIDERED!
