Adjustable Dipped Front Brass Club Fender.
A wonderful adjustable club fender with an open front, brass tube uprights and moulded brass base. The upholstered green leather seat is 17 cm wide with the measurements inside the seat being 1m 09 cm extending to 1m 33 cm. The front opening is 59 cm wide extending to 83 cm. Its external width is 1m 42 cm extending to 1m 67 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 and with a fender you also add an extra dimension to a fireplace by providing more seating.
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.
