Firebacks: Antique Look, Modern Function

Cast iron firebacks first appeared in the 17th and 18th centuries in Europe as heavy rectangular plates set against a fireplace’s rear masonry. As their popularity increased, so did their ornate design. It’s not unusual to find antique firebacks embossed with detailed biblical scenes, literary themes, mythological figures, royal crests and family seals. Today, firebacks are still stylishly functional. Here’s why:

• Firebacks offer increased heating efficiency by radiating heat back into your room.
• They protect the back wall of your fireplace from heat damage—even if you have gas logs.
• A cast iron or pewter fireback can help prevent your wall’s interior studs from drying out.
• Firebacks are stunning. These unusual additions make a great focal point that gets people talking.
