Hopewell Fireback – 23" Cast Iron Fireplace Panel in Matte Black
A Toasty Throwback to 1771
The Hopewell Fireback: When fireplaces had manners, and iron had gravitas.
If your fireplace has been feeling a little too modern lately—like it’s auditioning for a minimalist design show instead of cozying up to tradition—let’s fix that with something forged in the fire of early American industry.
The Hopewell Fireback isn’t just a fireplace accessory. It’s a time-traveling slab of cast iron history, elegantly reimagined for today’s hearth—but still whispering secrets from Hopewell Furnace, Pennsylvania’s iron-making powerhouse from 1771 to 1883. (And yes, it's now a protected site in the National Park System. Fancy.)
This fireback is a replica of the original Hopewell trademark design, and it brings instant old-world authority to your fire setup, whether you’re burning wood, basking in gas flames, or just staging it all for your next fall photo shoot.
Why Your Fireplace Deserves a Fireback
Because you wouldn’t wear a vintage cashmere coat with plastic buttons.
Let’s unpack the practical magic this cast iron hero brings:
Reflects more heat back into your space—translation: toastier toes and lower heating bills.
Shields your firebox walls from years of flame and ash. Because your hearth has feelings too.
Ups the visual drama with that iconic, matte-black, been-around-for-centuries energy.
Sits quietly on the hearth floor, no screws or tools required—just drop it in like it owns the place (because it kind of does).
Fireplaces, but Make It Historically Accurate
Your ancestors are applauding. Or they would be, if they had central heating.
Back in the 1700s, fireplaces weren’t just ambiance—they were lifelines. And ironwork wasn’t mass-produced. Each design meant something. The Hopewell trademark design wasn’t just branding—it was a badge of craftsmanship, pride, and colonial swagger.
Now, thanks to this reproduction, you get to borrow that timeless appeal without, you know, manually forging your own iron in a waistcoat. A win for all of us.
That Matte Black Finish? Instant Classic.
Gothic, regal, and matches literally everything.
Formed from heavy-duty cast iron and finished in a rich matte black powder coat, the Hopewell Fireback looks good in everything from stone hearths to modern marble mantels. It’s the little black dress of fireplace decor—if the dress weighed 50 lbs and protected your masonry.
