FAQs

Firedogs, also known as andirons, are horizontal metal bars or supports used in open hearths to elevate logs, allowing air to circulate underneath for a better fire.

Antique firedogs were traditionally forged from cast iron, wrought iron, brass, or bronze, chosen for their ability to withstand intense heat and support heavy fuel.

Authentic pieces typically feature hand-forged or cast construction with heavy weight, authentic tool marks, period-appropriate metallurgical composition, and natural surface oxidisation.

They can be placed inside working or decorative fireplaces as focal points, anchoring the hearth space with industrial texture and historic character.

Preservation involves keeping the metal dry to prevent active rusting, gently cleaning with a soft brush, and occasionally applying a microcrystalline wax or neutral oil to protect the surface.
