An old fireback is a decorative and functional element that was commonly used in traditional homes. These plates, often made of cast iron, were placed at the back of the fireplace to protect the bricks from direct fire and to reflect heat into the room. They were often decorated with decorative motifs such as coats of arms, mythological scenes or allegorical figures. In addition to their practical function, these plates brought a touch of elegance and sophistication to interiors. Although their use is less common today, they are still valued for their historical and aesthetic value.
