This fireback would fit well with an early American decor, while its clean design also makes it suitable for a more contemporary space as well. The fireback has been an indispensable part of the fireplace tradition in Europe since the 15th Century. The colonists carried this tradition to America and today you can add that touch of elegance and history to your own fireplace, while enhancing the beauty of the focal point of your room.While many people think of our Firebacks as being purely decorative, they also serve several very practical purposes.

They also protect firebrick, increasing the life of the firebox and helping to prevent further damage to an aging fireplace.
