Hand crafted in the USA, this cast iron fireback features the Great Seal of the United States. In the year 1782, the Bald Eagle was applied to a number of different household items. The original version of this fireback is thought to have been casted some time around 1780 and 1810. In order to fit modern hearth proportions, this reproduction has been shrunk five inches. A water-based black matte paint has been applied to help prevent rust during transportation. Slight imperfections may be visible, which are easily removed with a wire brush, steel wool, or sandpaper. You can cover up the bare spots on the metal with the (sold separate) stove polish. This polish can additionally be applied yearly to achieve a new look! If you want your fireback to stand upright, slightly backwards, or slightly forwards, than you can use the unique (sold separate) Safe-T-Boots (compatible with wrought/cast iron fireplace grates, andirons, and gas log systems).
