Can you date these fireplaces?

William Morris wasn't even a twinkle in his father's eye when those were put in

Granted, but as any fule no he was the principal inspiration for the Art Deco movement. I therefore wondered whether your fireplaces had been lovingly crafted by him and had become the quintessential basis of that inspiration.

If not, then they're just any old rubbish. :wink:

I tried searching online for 'dating'. Several sites must have been about fireplaces, because they had instructions like 'log in' and offered 'hot matches'. There was even a Georgian site, although the text seemed to be in Russian and most of the pictures were of old boilers.

I'm not sure that the mantlepiece moulding is right for that period.
