Thank you for you inquiry. The fireplace was in the house when the client bought it, so unfortunately we cant help you. Here is a link to a company that may be able to help you though.

We are a stove showroom that offers a supply and install package. Myself personally, I would go down the fire board the chamber route on the sides, square off the opening as the arch is small or just leave the arch brickwork exposed and split face oyster slate the back of the opening which will give you a nice light opening, the sides can then be painted a light colour. The hearth I would recommend something rustic such as an Indian stone which will tie in nicely with the oyster back. If you square off the opening this leaves you the option to install a beam or not. I have attached a picture of something like what I would recommend. The stove is a DG Ivar which at the minute is an extremely popular option.

The rest of the house is nearly restored and we are down to one of the final stalling points, what to do with the main fireplace. I've attached some better photos. Since taking them I have made a start on stripping it back. I've removed all the old fabric from one of the chairs and sanded a section back. The dark finish is not ingrained in the wood so sands of relatively easily. I'm thinking I may as well have a go at painting it before my wife makes me take it out! Its not the main living room so we won't be using the room very often. Therefore I don't think it matters that it's not really practical.

I would say the first is original and is likely cast iron and not wood. There are probably many layers of paint built up disguising the fact. This can be stripped with Nitromorse and then polished up with a metal brush on a drill. This will give you a polished iron finish which will rust if left. Then you need to decide whether to re paint or to use a 'black lead' polish which will retain that lustrous metal sheen. The second surround looks a bit cobbled together to me. The original was likely also to be cast iron, perhaps got damaged. This does look like timber but the design has odd proportions and could have been a later addition.

We've just fitted a Gotham 900 electric fire from Flamerite. We had a gas fire but didn't often use it as we don't really need extra heating in the room so it was just dark and lifeless. This fire has a great flame effect which can be used without heat, but it can also pump out heat when needed. It looks very like the long fire in the photo - but the one in the photo looks like gas. We wanted a gas fire with lights so that it could glow when it wasn't turned on but apparently very few gas fires do this as, when the fire is turned on, it blows the bulbs! Good luck with your renovations.
