Why are old cast iron fireplaces sought after?

In the 18th and 19th century Britain raced ahead of the world in terms of metal technology. 

Using the advanced casting techniques of the time, foundries such as Colebrookdale created the most beautiful exquisitely detailed cast iron chimney pieces. 

These were exported all over the globe and are still extremely sought after.
