Distinctly original, this Pennsylvania Firebacks Night Horse Cast Iron Fireback is an ideal addition to a hearth on the ranch. The unique, curving frame topped with rope moulding charmingly sets off the picture of a cantering horse below the crescent moon. The brisk but easy movement of the horse creates a sense of movement in this piece.

Once the decision has been made to purchase a fireback for your hearth, one must take into consideration the space available and aesthetics you want to achieve. A fireback should be wide enough to shield the hearth wall directly behind the fire. Remember that it is not uncommon for there to be anywhere from 3 inches to 10 inches of exposed back wall on either side of a fireback. The top of the fireback must be below the opening of the flue. Firebacks are shipped with a water base black paint to prevent rust build up during transit. To give a brighter finish to the fireback and to protect the casting from rust after use with a fire, an application of water base graphite stove polish is recommended. Applied with a toothbrush or rag, this paste, when dry, can be polished with a wire brush or rag giving the fireback an attractive silverfish sheen.
