This Regency fire guard is an early 19th-century English antique made from iron, brass, and woven wire mesh in a black colour. The piece features a brass top rim, vertical support ribs, and a swagged wire decoration along the upper edge. The design includes curved side panels and two flat mesh plates on the base. It stands 51 cm high, 69 cm wide, and 20 cm deep, and sits firmly on the floor. In a modern home, this fire guard is placed on a fireplace hearth in front of an active fire to contain embers and sparks. It works well in a traditional living room, library, or sitting room, positioned against a brick or stone surround. The open wire mesh allows the warmth of the fire to heat the room while keeping the hearth safe.

FAQs

A Regency wirework fire guard is a protective hearth screen originating in the early nineteenth century, designed to prevent sparks from escaping open fires while allowing heat to circulate freely into the room.

Traditional fire guards from the Regency period were constructed using woven iron or steel wire mesh, supported by wrought iron ribs and frequently topped with a brass rim.

Authentic pieces generally feature hand-woven wire mesh, subtle swagged wire detailing near the top rim, original metal patination, and minor hand-crafted variations in the frame construction.

An antique fire guard can be placed before an active fireplace or stove to function as a safety barrier, or set inside a disused hearth opening to add visual texture.

Dust the wire mesh regularly using a soft brush or vacuum attachment, keep iron components dry to avoid oxidisation, and gently polish any brass trim with a dry cloth without using abrasive chemical cleaners.
