Our Story
Living Fires journey is a tale of family passion, enduring craftsmanship, and an unwavering commitment to quality and innovation. Founded by Paul Agnew, a visionary whose roots in the industry run deep, Living Fire has grown from a small, family-owned business into Melbournes leading supplier of premium local and European fireplaces. With 60 years of industry experience, we have become synonymous with excellence, trusted by discerning customers who seek the perfect blend of cutting-edge design and traditional one-on-one service.
Paul Agnews story begins in his youth, following in his fathers footsteps, salvaging antique architectural fittings from old homes. This early appreciation for quality materials and craftsmanship ignited a lifelong passion. As demand for his unique finds grew, Paul transitioned to producing high-quality reproductions, setting a new standard in the market. His dedication took him to the UK, where he established a reputation for excellence in cast iron fireplace products. Today, Paul leads a team whose combined expertise spans over a century, all equally dedicated to innovation and quality.
