Manufactured by ' R. Jobson , Roscoe Place , Sheffield' according to the embossed maker's plates to the rear of the grate.
Date of manufacture: 1830 - 1840 approx.
35"W x 15"D x 22"H (hobs) plus another 10" for the rear apron. Approximate measurements.
Because this hob grate is free-standing it should be relatively easy to install in an appropriate fireplace.
