A Pair Of Irish Antique Regency Period Slate Fireplaces

A pair of Bangor or ” Plum”” slate fireplaces from the Regency Period.

Both with shaped mouldings to front panels, with conforming mouldings on the centre plaques. Carved roundel corner blocks, moulded frieze panels, both stood on square foot blockings with simple shelfs above. As with Irish fireplaces of this period they were often slightly more elaborate than their English counterparts.

Irish Bangor Slate, specifically the renowned “Bangor Blue” or Penrhyn Heather Blue, is a premier, highly durable natural Welsh slate used extensively for centuries on Irish buildings, often lasting over 100 years. Known for its distinctive blue-grey to heather-red hues, this material is popular for new and heritage projects for its strength and high-quality aesthetic
