The Capital Newport 60″ Cast Iron Fireplace Surround is an ornate period-inspired mantel designed to create a highly decorative architectural focal point. Manufactured from cast iron, it combines richly sculpted corbels, intricate scrollwork and a beautifully detailed frieze with a crisp moulded shelf.
At 60 inches, the Newport has a substantial scale that suits larger chimney breasts, grand living rooms and period properties where a more imposing fireplace surround is required. Its decorative detailing gives it a distinctly traditional character, making it especially well suited to Victorian, Georgian and heritage-inspired interiors.
The sculpted corbels provide strong visual support beneath the shelf, while the scrollwork and ornamented frieze add depth and craftsmanship across the face of the mantel. These details help the surround feel more architectural and refined than a simpler cast iron design.
The crisp moulded shelf creates a defined upper edge and provides a balanced contrast to the more elaborate detailing below. This combination of decorative richness and structured proportions allows the Newport to work as a bold standalone feature without overwhelming the fireplace opening.
The surround can be paired with a suitable stove or fire arrangement, allowing it to bridge traditional cast iron styling with either period or more contemporary appliances. The pictured installation combines the Newport Cast Iron Mantel with a Vega Edge Eco Stove, Nut Black Chamber and Honed Granite Hearths, demonstrating how it can be used as part of a complete fireplace composition.
The Capital Newport 60″ Mantel is supplied in a fixed size and is not available made to measure. Compatibility with the chosen stove, fire, chamber and hearth should therefore be confirmed before ordering.
