FAQs

A Georgian fire basket, also known as a dog grate, is a freestanding metal enclosure developed during the 18th and early 19th centuries to hold coal or logs, raising fuel off the hearth floor to improve airflow.

Georgian fire grates were primarily crafted using heavy cast iron backplates for heat retention, alongside wrought or cast iron bars, steel components, and ornamental cast brass finials or aprons.

Authentic pieces exhibit heavy cast iron construction, traditional hand-riveted or threaded joining, classical motifs such as urn-shaped finials, and natural heat-induced patination on internal iron surfaces.

Place the fire basket inside an existing chimney breast or modern hearth opening to serve as an architectural focal point, complementing both traditional marble surrounds and minimalist stone hearths.

Iron elements should be treated periodically with specialised grate polish to prevent oxidation, while brass accents can be cleaned gently with a soft cloth to preserve historical surface patina.
