Fireback
Wealden cast iron fireback. It is a rectangular shape, with a central round arch supported by two fluted Ionic pilasters with fillet edging. On the arch, the date: '1608' between two flower heads. Beneath, is a cabled anchor within a circlet of rope gathered into a series of loops. A phoenix, its wings displayed and inverted, rises from the flames above the rope. The pilasters are flanked on their outer sides by crouching naked fauns, facing inwards and disgorging vines with bunches of grapes. Above each faun, a scroll forms the top corner of the plate.
