Antique Brass Club Fender
Antique Brass Club Fender
Vintage Extending Brass Club Fender.
A very nice, late 20th century adjustable club fender with an open front, brass tube uprights and moulded brass base. The upholstered button leather seat is 20 cm wide with the measurements inside the seat being 1m 19 cm extending to 1m 50 cm. The front opening is 60 cm wide extending to 91 cm. Its external width is 1m 61 cm extending to 1m 92 cm.
The idea with the open front of the fender is to retain access to the fire and to allow more heat to escape into the room. With this type of fender you also add an extra dimension to a fireplace by providing more seating.
Club fenders were all the rage in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries and were found in Gentleman's Clubs, libraries and billiard rooms of country houses.
