The Clarence Arch

re016

The Clarence Arch was a common feature from 1900 to World War 1. It largely replaced the black cast iron insert of the Victorian era.

The opening tiles and arch tiles are hand made in our Manchester factory and glazed on the premises to match the fireplace tiles of England's last remaing fireplace tile manufacturer ( H.E. Smith of Stoke on Trent )

We offer the complete range of colours in this design with the Arts and Crafts Dot detail or a larger keystone detail if required

Most people choose to set this insert with an original mantle and it can be built to fit almost any of them.

The insert also complements a number of our reproduction mantles such as the Empire, Gatsby, Ellis and Teardrop but any of these mantles can be manufactured to surround any fireplace insert*

These insert designs are shown at 40"square but they can be manufactured at any size if necessary. We offer a complete bespoke service where each fireplace is manufactured to a customers requirements.

Tiled fireplace including hearth and fret from £695

To burn sold fuel a stool grate is also required. Living flame gas fires are also available to suit these fireplaces.

All tiled products are manufactured in Manchester at our factory/showroom site

Different opening tiles are not available for this fireplace.

Hearth sizes
Originally most pre-war fireplaces would have had hearths laid flush with the wooden floor. In general they were about 48" wide and 18" deep. Current gas and solid fuel regulations now stipulate that a 2"(50mm) raised hearth is required.

Our hearths can me made in large sizes so that the mantle stands on it, small so that the mantle stands on the floor
or somewhere in between (either the mantle or the hearth is cut out). The standard sizes are small (39.5" x 16"in 4"tiles) and large( 54"x15") in 6"tiles but they can be made in any size or shape on request.
