Fireplace accessory - Iron (wrought)
Beautiful hand-forged chain.
Centuries ago, these chains hung in the mantelpiece above the fire to hang kettles on.
Already in the Middle Ages.
Still in use until the 19th century.
Then the age of industrialization begins. Gaslight, photography, steam engines, electricity.
Ovens and cast iron stoves for cooking.
Different techniques, different people.
This is clearly much older.
Completely rust-free, waxed and polished.
