Victorian Tiled Fireplaces
The 1980s saw the end of an era when, after 250 years of production, the bulk of the European iron founding industry closed.
But some original pattern drawings were rescued. And one of these was for a tiled fireplace, which Aurora have reproduced and renamed ‘The Headford’.
Retaining the artistry and craft of the original patternmakers drawings dating back to 1884, the only alterations we’ve made are to facilitate modern fire openings.

Aurora Borealis: Scottish Myth
The lights were known as the merry dancers or nimble men (na Fir chlis). They signified the blood spilt in battles between the clans of two chiefs – rivals for the possession of a fairy lady. The Scottish Gaelic proverb proclaims that ‘When the Merry Dancers play, they are like to slay.
