CANADA POST STRIKE NOTICE:
Orders received after Nov 14th will ship via an alternative carrier.
CANADIAN PO BOX ADDRESSES:
Unfortunately, we will not be able to ship to PO BOX addresses within Canada during the strike as only Canada Post has access to deliver to those. Please provide an alternate address or we can hold them for you until the strike is over but please note that even then shipping may be delayed as they work to resume normal operations.
Once serving only the practical purposes of heating and cooking, the fireplace evolved into a work of art. The author traces the fireplace from primitive ancient technology to the magnificent designs of the Elizabethan and Renaissance periods. Plates are taken from some of the great houses of England, including Bolsover Castle, Audley End, and Haddon Hall. Some of them, such as the one in plate LXIV, look a little too fine to be used. And some, such as that in plate XXXVI, are now in museums, as befits great artwork.
