The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Andirons, also known as firedogs, are decorative metal supports used in pairs to hold logs above the hearth floor, improving airflow to the fire. During the Georgian period, cast brass andirons became prominent architectural elements in formal English interiors.

Georgian andirons were typically constructed from cast brass or iron, often featuring wrought iron billet bars behind solid cast brass decorative fronts to withstand high temperatures.

Authentic Georgian pieces feature heavy cast construction, hand-chased decorative details, and threaded or riveted iron supports at the rear, often showing natural oxidation on untreated interior surfaces.

Place the pair within an open hearth surround or alongside modern log holders to create a focal point that adds historical warmth and metalwork detail to a living space.

Clean the brass surfaces using a soft cloth and a gentle metal polish formulated for antique brass, avoiding abrasive pads that could scratch detailed carvings.
