Gothic Revival Style Cast Iron Electric Fire Basket with Fleur-de-lis Decoration - A Gothic Revival style electric fire basket or hearth heater constructed from cast iron with a black painted finish. The design features a tall, arched backplate decorated with three fleur-de-lis motifs in relief set against a cast hammered-effect background. The front of the grate is composed of vertical bars and decorative scrolls. The unit is flanked by integral andirons or fire dogs, each topped with a fleur-de-lis finial on a twisted stem. Within the grate sits a rectangular textured orange block designed to simulate glowing embers, likely made from a heat-resistant material such as fiberglass. A black metal base with a single ring pull handle is positioned beneath the grate, presumably housing the electrical controls or heating element. The item is fitted with a standard UK three-pin power cable. No maker marks or signatures are visible on the exterior.
