Mid Victorian fireplace inserts tend to have narrower arched fire openings with more geometric than floral decoration.

Fireplace inserts have to be slightly larger than the opening of the surrounding mantel.

The Belfast Fireplace InsertThe Belfast Fireplace Insert

The Belfast

ctai01

The Belfast is a rare example of an arched and tiled fireplace insert from the Late Victorian period.

The outer arch is decorated with a six petalled flower motif spaced with parallel ribbing. The inner fireplace opening arch has stylised leaves in a flowing pattern above it.

Because the outer arch hides the top of the angled tile panels, the Belfast is suited to repeating pattern tiles rather than a full picture set.
