A fine example of an early Edwardian surround in mahogany. It is typical of a parlour fire surround and comes from a house built in 1904 near Liverpool.

The angled and scalloped block feet form the base for 2 moulding runs. The outer mouldings are sculpted in a gentle ogee and extend forwards to become the supports for the central shelf.

The inner triplicate moulding rises vertically then steps outward just before the top of the opening, to make room for the impressive curvaceous pediment, before resuming its vertical run and ending under the central shelf.

Above the shelf two hand tooled brass panels with Art Nouveau inspired designs are recessed into the legs. The top of the legs are finished with highly flared capitols. The central section of the over-mantel features a wide rectangular mirror and the top is shaped to complement the curves of the lower pediment.
