FAQs

Andirons, also known as fire dogs, date back to medieval times when they were utilised to support logs off the hearth floor to improve air circulation and combustion.

Traditional andirons are primarily fabricated from forged wrought iron or cast iron, often shaped by blacksmiths using techniques such as hammering, scrolling, and riveting.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit hand-forged joinery, tool marks, natural oxidisation consistent with age, and heavier metal weight compared to modern reproductions.

They can be positioned within an operational fireplace or utilized as decorative sculptural objects inside a decorative hearth recess to anchor the rooms design.

Preservation involves removing surface dust with a dry brush and applying a microcrystalline wax or specialist iron paste to protect the metal from moisture and rust.
