FAQs

Folding fire guards were designed during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to protect interior spaces from sparks and embers while allowing heat from coal or wood fires to radiate into the room.

Traditional spark guards feature a solid brass or iron metal frame enclosing fine woven wire mesh screens, joined by side hinges for flexibility.

Authentic period examples exhibit natural surface oxidation, hand-assembled hinges, and operational wear on the base feet where the guard rested against the hearth.

A brass mesh screen can be placed centrally in front of a functional or decorative open fireplace to add metallic warmth, geometric structure, and visual grounding.

Dust the wire mesh regularly using a soft bristle brush, and wipe the brass frame with a dry microfibre cloth to clean without stripping original patination.
