The Carron Tweed Fireplace is an exquisite example of Victorian-inspired design, blending intricate detailing with the timeless strength of cast iron. Its elegant arch is framed with a distinctive chain-link motif, while delicate sunflower carvings sit proudly beneath the mantel and around the fire opening. The result is a fireplace that feels both decorative and dignified, making it a perfect focal point for homes wanting to capture the elegance of a bygone era.
Compact Elegance for Any Room
With a mantel width of just under 102cm (39¾"), the Tweed is designed to provide maximum visual impact without overwhelming the room. Its balanced proportions make it suitable for a wide range of settings, from living rooms and dining areas to studies and master bedrooms. Whether you’re restoring a Victorian property or adding period charm to a modern interior, the Tweed is a versatile choice.
Cast Iron Craftsmanship
Crafted from solid cast iron, the Carron Tweed offers long-lasting durability and authentic character. As a combination fireplace, the mantel, surround, and fireback are all cast in one seamless piece. This not only simplifies installation but also ensures a cohesive design that looks stunning from every angle. Cast iron is also naturally effective at retaining and radiating heat, ensuring the Tweed is as practical as it is beautiful.
Choice of Finishes
To suit your individual style, the Tweed is available in two premium finishes:
Matt Black – a classic finish that works beautifully with both real fires and decorative installations.
Hand-Polished Cast Iron – a striking pewter-style finish that accentuates every detail of the sunflower and chain-link patterns, adding extra depth and dimension.
Versatile Fire Options
The Carron Tweed Fireplace can be enjoyed in several ways:
Use with an Ashpan Tray for burning wood or coal, recreating the authentic warmth and ambience of a real Victorian fire.
Opt for a dedicated gas fire insert (suitable for Class 1 and Class 2 flues) for instant controllability, complete with a realistic coal-effect bed.
Or enjoy it purely as a decorative feature, bringing elegance and character into your room without the need for a working fire.
Important: Gas fires are not recommended for bedrooms. Polished finishes may tarnish if used with solid fuel.
Hearth Options
The Tweed does not include a hearth as standard, but it can be paired with a choice of polished granite hearths to complete your installation. A one-piece hearth is ideal for decorative or gas fire use, while a four-piece hearth is required for burning solid fuel. This ensures both safety and style, giving your fireplace a professional and polished finish.

Due to the continuing rise in costs for delivery to Highland areas, we have reluctantly concluded that having absorbed these costs for a long time
this is regrettably no longer possible and we have had to introduce a fee for delivery to certain Scottish postcodes. Customers that live in the affected
areas will be contacted when we process your order to be advised on specific extra charges and have the opportunity to confirm the order.
