FAQs

Fire dogs, also known as andirons, are paired bracket supports designed to hold burning logs above the bottom of a fireplace hearth to improve airflow and combustion. Popular during the Victorian era, they served both essential functional heating purposes and decorative roles within hearth displays.

Victorian fire dogs were commonly constructed with heavy cast iron bases to withstand direct exposure to intense heat, paired with decorative solid brass or bronze upper sections such as balusters, urns, or finials.

Authentic Victorian examples usually feature heavy cast construction, threaded iron rods securing the brass components to the iron base, and natural surface patination or oxidisation from historic heat exposure.

A pair of antique brass andirons can be positioned inside a non-working fireplace hearth to add structural interest, or placed alongside modern fireplace surrounds and wood-burning stoves as decorative accents.

Maintain antique brass by dusting with a soft cloth and applying a thin coat of microcrystalline wax to protect the metal from oxidisation, avoiding harsh chemical polishes that remove historic patination.
