FAQs

Fire dogs, also known as andirons, are paired metal brackets placed on a hearth to elevate firewood above the fireplace floor, facilitating improved airflow and combustion.

Traditional fire dogs are crafted from heat-resistant metals such as wrought iron, steel, polished brass, or cast bronze, often featuring cast or turned decorative uprights joined to rear iron billets.

Authentic period fire dogs typically exhibit hand-forged or early casting characteristics, including subtle surface variations, threaded assemblies, and historical oxidisation or soot marks on the rear iron supports.

In contemporary settings, polished steel fire dogs can be placed within an open fireplace hearth or an unlit chimney breast to add architectural structure, whether supporting wood logs or standing as architectural accents.

Dust polished steel regularly with a dry microcrystalline cloth and apply a light coat of protective wax or specialized metal restorer to prevent rust and tarnish caused by environmental moisture.
