Magiflame flueless bioethanol fireplaces now available
After nearly a year in development we have, at last, a product that slips easily into a fireplace without fuss, instantly giving not only heat but real dancing, flickering flames.
Unlike other appliances designed to give the impression of a cosy flame, the Magiflame Alchemy fire looks like a real fire in your fireplace as it is a real fire! Actual flames will breathe new life into redundant grates and fireplaces without the need for a flue. The Magiflame Alchemy fire also saves you the fuss and bother of cleaning.
Imagine the difference this will make to your room on cosy nights in, special occasions or whilst you are entertaining.

Christmas Dinner
We have Just had a Christmas dinner with one of our suppliers at a lovely old Georgian hall just out side Lincoln, Washingborough Hall in the village of Washingborough surprisingly!!.
Washingborough Hall hotel is Owned by Edward and Lucy Herring. its a beautiful grade two listed 300 year old Georgian manor house sitting in it’s own grounds.
I just had to share these pictures of the fireplaces the first one with its huge stove just belted out so much heat we were roasted, while we were waiting for our dinner in the hall way brilliant on a cold December afternoon.
This other one was in the dinning room a Lovely Georgian marble fireplace, and what a meal all three coarse were fantastic I had the Turkey cooked to perfection and the red cabbage and assorted vegetables was wonderful. followed by the Christmas pudding and custard, Great. No sixpence though.
Washingborough hall hotel definitely is worth a stay in one of its 12 bedrooms or just book a table for a wonderful meal.
Fireplace for christmas
Decorate your Fireplace at Christmas
Victorian fireplaces would like you to think about your own Fireplace and getting it prepared for the festivities.
Yes Christmas is just around the corner 29 day’s to that lovely time, that smell of the Christmas dinner being prepared, I can taste the smell of those mince pies wafting into the lounge where all sanity has gone, wrapping paper strewn all over the floor as children rip away to find what’s inside. Baffled Grand parents with new electronic games, Huge flat screen TVs blaring out the new xbox game,- lost instruction books, – damn no batteries!! – “I am going to walk the dog”.
Its a lovely time and no Fireplaces to think about, well only yours, the one to get decorated. Here is a link to a website I found that you might find interesting. Kirstie Allsopp and decorate your fireplace with these great decoration tips.
Now if you haven’t got a fireplace perhaps now is the time to think about it just in time for Christmas delivery or Even the new year and beat the vat increases, by ordering it now.
This fireplace featured in this Christmas picture is a Large Adam mantel hand carved in solid pine is a fine example of the type of work that is created in the great historical city of Lincoln.
Manufactured by Knapp Woodworking and sold here at Victorian fireplaces.
Now have you thought what’s the best way to decorate your mantel.
A trip into Lincoln and a lesson in…. Steampunks?!
Here at Victorian fireplaces in Lincoln, we or well I actually write, what I think are interesting or some may say daft things on our Fireplace blog, like fireplace poetry and articles about paintings with fireplaces in them, I have even found some ghost stories with fireplaces in. Some time ago I did a little article about Lincoln city and our hugely successful Christmas market, and the where to visit in Lincoln which I thought was quite good.
Well I came across something in Lincoln that I didn’t know existed, perhaps its my age, any way. I was walking through town last Saturday(11th September) as you do, with my wife and son shopping.
During our little shopping trip in town we couldn’t help but notice some people dressed rather strangely to say the least, well a nice strange, like Victorian or Edwardian clothing with a twist. Some of the people were waring goggles and leather hats like the old racing drivers would have worn, in the early days of car racing. As I went into my local butcher in the bail (part of the historical part of Lincoln is the bail short for Bailgate) and Kenny the proprietor shed some light on it for me, 
he said “their Steampunks” – “what” I said, Steampunks well what was happening is that for the second year running Lincoln was holding the Lincoln Steampunk festival in the Lawn complex, the organisers called it, The Asylum, it was being held in the Lawn. The Lawn was once a Mental hospital, it crossed my mind that it was very apt and I bet the organisers had planned it that way.
Quite a spectacle to see these people dressed this way promenading through our lovely city.
So when I got home I did a bit of googling to see what its all about and I found it quite interesting, even came across some fireplaces in the steampunk style, which all leads to our kind of fireplaces, at Victorian Fireplaces.
So if you want a steampunk fireplace just give us a call with a picture and we will make it for you.
