FAQs

Originating in the 18th and 19th centuries, fire guards were designed to surround open hearths to contain flying sparks and prevent hot embers from damaging flooring or causing injury, particularly in nursery rooms and family living areas.

Traditional 19th-century fire guards were constructed using hand-woven iron or steel wire mesh mounted onto a sturdy frame, frequently capped with a polished brass tubular top rail for decorative appeal.

Authentic Victorian examples often feature hand-twisted or woven wire mesh, heavy brass rails with natural age patination, and minor structural irregularities in the hand-crafted joinery rather than modern uniform machine construction.

A vintage mesh fire guard adds texture and historic character when positioned before a modern hearth, an unused fireplace filled with logs, or placed as a decorative accent screen in a living space.

Dust the wire mesh regularly using a soft brush or vacuum attachment, ensure iron components remain dry to prevent oxidisation, and gently clean the brass top rail with specialised metal polish to preserve its natural finish.
