Description

This is an incredibly handsome pair of Fire Dogs dating from the Victorian period - reminiscent of Cathedral spires, the pair are attractive in their own right as a piece of sculpture!

Intended for use in a fireplace to hold the burning logs off the ground and allow air to circulate and aid the fire, they would have logs placed across them and can be used in any open hearth or inglenook fireplace.

They are of a good large size and are incredibly heavy being made from solid brass - personally i love their strong almost brutalist nature and could happily enjoy them as purely a decorative item!

Standing on arched legs, the Fire Dogs - also known as Andirons - stand 42cm tall.

Please do not hesitate to get in touch if i can provide any further information or photographs.

I provide free delivery across mainland UK, and am very happy to help with quotes for shipping abroad.

FAQs

Gothic Revival metalwork emerged during the 18th and 19th centuries, drawing inspiration from medieval architectural motifs, pointed arches, and ecclesiastical forms to create dramatic fireplace furnishings.

Traditional andirons were typically constructed from durable metals such as cast iron, forged wrought iron, and heavy brass to withstand extreme fireplace temperatures.

Authentic period pieces often feature heavy casting weight, hand-finished detailing, threaded iron tie-rods, and natural patination indicative of age and use.

They can be placed within an active hearth or used as a sculptural focal point inside an unused fireplace opening to add metallic contrast and historical texture to a modern room.

Cleaning should be limited to dusting with a soft cloth and preserving the natural oxidisation; aggressive metal polishes should be avoided to protect the historical surface finish.
