FAQs

Fire screens gained widespread use during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to protect occupants from excessive direct heat and flying embers generated by open wood or coal fires. Wrought iron screens were valued for their durability and fire resistance, evolving into decorative architectural elements within the living space.

Traditional fire guards are crafted by heating iron and shaping it using hand tools, joinery, rivets, and welds. Frames often incorporate decorative scrollwork, vertical bars with finials, and splayed support feet designed to maintain stability on hearth surfaces.

Authentic hand-forged wrought iron features slight surface irregularities, hammer marks, and non-uniform scrollwork rather than the perfect symmetry of modern cast or machine-moulded iron. Older pieces may also show authentic oxidisation and joined components fixed with rivets rather than modern continuous welds.

A wrought iron fire screen serves as a structural focal point in both functioning and disused fireplaces. The dark metal finish provides visual grounding against lighter stonework, brickwork, or painted chimney breasts.

Wrought iron should be dusted regularly with a soft dry cloth and kept dry to prevent rust formation. To preserve the finish and prevent oxidisation, a light application of clear microcrystalline wax or specialist iron paste can be applied periodically.
