FAQs

A companion set, or set of fire irons, consists of tools such as pokers, tongs, shovels, and brushes suspended on a central stand, designed for managing open fires. Gothic-style examples typically feature hand-forged wrought iron with decorative knops, arched finials, and heavy, angular bases.

Traditional companion sets were constructed primarily from hand-forged wrought iron, cast iron, or brass. Wrought iron was favoured for its durability and resistance to high temperatures, often shaped using blacksmithing techniques like riveting and hot-bending.

Authentic antique iron companion sets display subtle irregularities in the metalwork from hand hammering rather than uniform machine moulding. Look for riveted joints, hand-turned finials, natural surface patina, and historical wear on working surfaces like shovel blades and brush blocks.

Position the set on a stone or brick hearth beside a traditional fireplace, log burner, or wood stove to introduce texture and historic weight. The dark metallic finish complements stone surrounds, dark academia interiors, and exposed brickwork.

Clean iron companion sets by wiping them down with a dry cloth to remove soot and dust. To prevent rust and maintain the dark finish, apply a thin coat of clear microcrystalline wax or iron paste periodically, avoiding contact with moisture.
