Carron Tulip Cast Iron Combination Fireplace

Carron Tulip Cast Iron Combination Fireplace

The Carron Tulip Fireplace is a timeless combination design that takes inspiration from the elegant simplicity of the Art Nouveau movement. With a plain, curved canopy and smooth cast iron frame, the Tulip’s main decorative flourish is a graceful flower motif set between the canopy and the mantel shelf. This understated detail captures the essence of Art Nouveau design, natural, delicate, and beautifully proportioned, making the Tulip a versatile piece for both period homes and modern interiors.

A Compact Centrepiece for Smaller Rooms

Unlike larger mantels that dominate a space, the Carron Tulip’s slender proportions make it perfect for bedrooms, studies, and smaller living rooms. Its minimalist styling allows it to blend into a variety of interior schemes, whether you’re restoring a traditional property or simply adding character to a contemporary space. Despite its smaller size, the Tulip still offers the presence and craftsmanship of a classic Carron cast iron fireplace.

Cast Iron Strength and Longevity

Built entirely from robust cast iron, the Tulip showcases the durability that Carron is known for. The single-piece combination format means the mantel, surround, and fireback are all cast as one, ensuring strength, cohesion, and straightforward installation. Designed to be both practical and decorative, this fireplace is an investment in style that will last for generations.

Two Stylish Finishes

The Carron Tulip is available in two distinct finishes to suit different preferences:

Matt Black – the classic choice for a traditional cast iron fireplace, particularly suited for real fires with wood or coal.

Hand-Polished Cast Iron – expertly buffed to a satin-silver sheen, perfect for interiors that need a decorative yet striking centrepiece.

Flexible Fire Choices

The Tulip Fireplace offers several setup options depending on your lifestyle:

Fit with an Ashpan Tray to enjoy the charm of a real solid fuel fire using wood or coal.

Choose a dedicated gas fire insert (Natural Gas or LPG) for the convenience of instant flames and an authentic coal-effect fuel bed.

Or install the Tulip purely as a decorative feature, adding style and period character without the need for a working fire.

Please note: Gas fire versions are not suitable for installation in bedrooms. Polished finishes may darken or tarnish with solid fuel use.

Completing Your Fireplace

To finish the look, Carron offers a choice of black granite hearths. A one-piece hearth is recommended for decorative or gas fire use, while a four-piece hearth is essential for solid fuel burning. This ensures both safety and durability, while enhancing the overall appearance of your installation.
