This cast iron fireback, made in 1687, is a fine example of decorative metalwork from the Dutch Golden Age. The fireback, which would have been placed at the back of a fireplace to prevent heat loss, is adorned with two putti (cherubs), a wreath, and two garlands. The initials "C.G.S." are also visible, possibly referencing the owners of the fireplace. The piece is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
