A VERY RELEVANT PREMISE FOR A CAST IRON INSERT WITH SO MUCH DECORATIVE CHARACTER LIKE THIS MANTEL IS:
Originally created as accessories for fireplaces, for the last ten years or so and thanks to the creativity of a few architects, cast iron inserts have become fireplaces themselves, elegant mantels for your fireplace.
THE STYLE OF THIS CAST IRON INSERT FIREPLACE BELONGS TO THE ROSACES FAMILY ("ROSACES” STANDS FOR “SWIRLS”, IN THIS CASE THOSE VISIBLE ON THE HORIZONTAL BAND), BUT NORMALLY, IN THIS FAMILY, THESE SWIRL DECORATIONS ALSO OCCUPY THE SURFACE OF THE LEGS, WHICH IS NOT THE CASE HERE..
IT IS A PARTICULAR CAST IRON INSERT, COMPLETELY UNIQUE, EVEN IN ITS (HIGHLY INNOVATIVE) DRAGON'S FOOT LANTERN, WHICH FOR THE BELIEVER SIGNIFIES THE POSSIBILITY OF TO ILLUMINATE THE PATH OF SALVATION, AND FOR THE UNBELIEVING, THAT OF TRUTH AND JUSTICE.
NOTES ON THE RESTORATION OF CAST IRON INSERTS:
The cast iron insert for the fireplace will, of course, be included in the price, and can be restored, according to the customer's choice, in the following ways:
1) Just cleaned by hand and waxed by hand;
2) Stripped of paint and then waxed with graphite, as was done in antique fireplaces;
3) Stripped of paint and painted with semi-gloss or matte black paint resistant up to 800 degrees centigrade.
Once cleaned and waxed or varnished, its artistic surfaces will appear in their true definition and your fireplace will reach the peak of its beauty.
