Edwardian fireplace

Edwardian fireplace is named after King Edward. There is nothing like a fire in the early evening through which the house is gently heated and provides the comfort of being at home. The fireplaces in the Edwardian era are similar to those of the late Victorian period but even more geometric. The designs from both Victorian and Edwardian period used cast iron grates with a marble or hardwood surround. Fireplace surrounds are necessary for a fireplace to blend into a room rather than stick out like a big hole in the wall.  A large mantel piece or shelves were added to display the newly acquired fashionable ornaments. The fireplaces reflected many styles from a Regency, often seen in early Victorian times to the floral Art Nouveau patterns on tiles and surrounds seen in later Victorian and Edwardian period.

Simpler fireplaces were completely cast iron. Earlier, a cheaper alternative was to use softwoods and then paint or varnish them to make them look grander.
