CAST IRON FIREBACK
17TH CENTURY
of cusped arched outline, with a lion passant, thistle, rose, and fleur-de-lys, dated 1644
79cm wide, 70cm high 
Note: This fireback may have been made in reference to the Scottish origin of the Stuart dynasty showing the allegiance between Scotland, England and France. Other exampes exist with dates ranging from 1641 to 1649, the year of Charles I's execution.  A similar example dated 1649 is in the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum, London (acc. no. 492-1901) (see Jeremy Hodgkinson, British Cast-Iron Firebacks of the 16th and 17th Centuries, (Worth, Crawley: Hodgersbooks, 2010), p. 178, no. 258).
