Fireplace surround and cover

I’ve just peeled away paint to reveal the stained but lovely marble underneath one of my fireplaces in a Victorian brownstone. It’s missing the arched cast iron surround and cover. I’m wondering if anyone has any advice on where I might go hunting for one? I’ve checked BIG and no luck. Opening is about 32″H X 27″W.

IF your fireplace missing the cast iron surround and cover, then I just give you advice that don’t think so much just repair it. There is a best company for Chimney Repair in Reno named Benjamin Franklin Fireplace who has specialized in Chimney repairs and services. I am sure you will be fully satisfied with the services of that company and repair services is also in an very affordable price.

The place next to Lowes is called “New York Old Iron” and I agree that it’s your best bet in this area. I’ve gotten several mantel summer covers there. Just make sure you go with your measurements and a picture of your mantel since they are all different sizes and shapes. I don’t recall them being too expensive – maybe $20 or $30 each? That’s because they’re mostly in rough shape, so you’ll either need to wire brush and spray paint them, or else get them sandblasted and powder coated (looks better, but is way more $$$).
