Mercury Fireback

Mercury was the Roman god of trade, travel, thieves, and communication, and served as the messenger of the gods. Known for his intelligence, speed, and cunning, he often acted as a link between the gods and humans. He’s usually depicted wearing a winged helmet and winged sandals, symbolizing his swiftness. Mercury also carried a caduceus—a staff with two snakes wrapped around it—representing peace and commerce. His Greek equivalent is Hermes.

Color	Brown If an old or antique fireplace accessory has a nice brown patina of rust, we tend to preserve that; thus the items remains brown. In all other instances, our firebacks and andirons have been treated with stove polish and thereby have a black/greyish color. If you prefer to have a black-colored fireback or pair of andirons, we can deliver any brown fireback or pair of andirons in black. Yet, a black fireplace accessory cannot be delivered in brown. Realize that a fireback in use in a fireplace will get black in its central section regardless.
