Fireplace styles throughout time

Georgian
The Georgian period 1714-1837; fireplaces were the focal point of the room with elegant fire baskets, hob grates, with decorative fronts depicting swags, urns and medallions.

Victorian
The Victorian period covers 1837-1901. Early and Mid Victorian fireplaces were very ornate and ostentatious becoming slightly simpler towards the end of the period. Complete cast iron fireplaces were very popular in a wide range of styles' also fireplace inserts both arched and tiled with marble, wood or slate mantels were common.

Art Nouveau
The Art Nouveau style was popular from the early 1880's until 1914. There were two distinct looks; sinuous, curvy lines with stylised flowers, leaves, roots, buds and seedpods and the more noticeable vertical lines and linear look of Charles Rennie Mackintosh

Edwardian
Edwardian style covers the period 1900-1920. At the beginning of the Edwardian period most fireplaces would still have been the typical cast iron insert with tiles. They were plainer with minimal decoration compared to Victorian fireplaces. Edwardian fireplaces were often tall and slender. Canopy on legs were also popular with large panels, which were set on either side of the canopy at an angle, which suited the size of the mantel. Complete tiled fireplaces became more popular later in the period.
