Engraved Fender refers to a decorative fireplace fender featuring hand-engraved or machine-engraved ornamentation, often incorporating floral scrolls, geometric borders or classical motifs. Usually crafted from brass or steel, engraved fenders were designed to contain ash and embers while adding elegance to Georgian and Victorian fireplaces. Antique examples are admired for their craftsmanship, detailed decoration and rich patina.
