A charming antique English miniature brass fireplace fender with crisp pierced Gothic detailing, including trefoil cutouts and a central lozenge motif. Pieces like this echo the full-size Victorian hearth fenders used to frame the fireplace opening and help contain stray ash and embers, but in a collectible miniature scale that is perfect for a dolls house display or as a standout accent in a curated vignette.
This example has great presence at nearly 7 inches wide, larger than many modern dollhouse accessories, and the warm, timeworn brass patina gives it that unmistakable antique character. A wonderful find for miniature collectors, English interiors enthusiasts, and anyone styling a library, mantle, or dark academia shelf.
