This Edwardian set of antique brass fire irons and fire dogs presents a classic English Country House aesthetic, executed entirely in polished brass with a rich gold colour. The collection comprises a matching pair of fire dogs alongside three corresponding fire irons: a shovel, a poker, and a pair of tongs. Each piece demonstrates refined craftsmanship, featuring decorative urn-shaped finials, turned handles, and elegant cabriole legs terminating in pad feet. The fire dogs support the horizontal irons across their arched frames, displaying subtle surface wear consistent with age and authentic domestic use. Measuring 25 cm high, 13 cm wide, and 18 cm deep, this practical hearth accessory arrangement suits both traditional and period fireplaces in contemporary living rooms or studies. Placed upon a stone or tiled hearth, the set brings an organised, decorative finish to an open fireplace or wood-burning stove while remaining fully functional for everyday fire management.

FAQs

Edwardian fire irons and fire dogs are fireplace accessories designed during the early 20th century to manage open fires, holding burning logs and providing tools for tending embers.

These sets were primarily constructed from solid cast brass, polished steel, or wrought iron, often featuring turned or cast decorative components.

Authentic pieces display heavy cast metal construction, natural surface oxidisation in unpolished areas, turned urn or baluster finials, and period joinery on tongs and shovels.

Place the set on a stone or tiled fireplace hearth to add warmth and classical proportion to both traditional and modern living spaces.

Clean gently with a soft microfibre cloth and apply a dedicated brass polish sparingly, avoiding abrasive pads that could remove historic surface patina.
