Antique Victorian Cast Iron Fireplace Coal Grate / Fire Basket

Late 19th to early 20th century cast iron fireplace grate designed for burning coal or small wood. This is a freestanding hearth basket with a square lattice front, deep firebox, and vertical ribbed back plate that reflects practical Victorian-era design. The elevated legs improve airflow and draft, allowing efficient combustion while containing embers safely behind the open grid front.
