Art nouveau tiled insert (ATI-1454) a very unusual Art nouveau tiled insert with elegant Art nouveau detailing and a fabulous set of original tiles, there is some minor damage to the tiles but this doesn’t detract from their overall appeal. The insert is flat rather than concave as is more usual giving it a striking look, this also makes fitting it a little easier with less remedial brickwork required by the installer. The insert has been highlight polished to give it a brighter look; this was an original finish that we have reinstated. Measures 38’’wide x 38’’high and has a 16’’fire opening. It’s priced at £800.00.
