FAQs

During the Victorian era, fire baskets were central hearth elements in English homes, designed to elevate burning fuel to improve air circulation and draw in open fireplaces.

Traditional Victorian hearth grates were constructed primarily from heavy cast iron, often poured into sand moulds to create detailed decorative features and withstand high thermal exposure.

Authentic period pieces display significant weight, subtle surface pitting from historical heat exposure, and original casting seam marks along the underside or joins.

An antique fire basket can be placed inside a restored hearth alcove, filled with decorative birch logs, or fitted with bioethanol burners for modern functionality.

Maintain cast iron by dusting regularly and applying traditional black iron paste or grate polish to preserve the dark finish and protect against surface oxidisation.
