electric fires

Fake glowing hearths

Electric fires are space heaters designed to mimic the appearance of traditional fireplaces, typically featuring artificial flames and glowing elements behind a decorative front.

Common in British homes where they replaced coal fires, they plug into wall outlets and provide supplemental heat.

The flat had an old electric fire in the sitting room.
