How do I place a brass hearth seat?

Position the metal frame directly in front of the fireplace opening, ensuring sufficient clearance for tending the fire. Allow enough space on the hearth for the padded seat to function comfortably as a low bench.

Are these seats comfortable?

The upholstered leather or velvet top provides a firm, low perching spot close to the warmth of the hearth. They are designed for short periods of sitting near the fire rather than lounging.

How do I clean brass and leather?

Polish the metal frame gently with a suitable brass cleaner to maintain its shine without damaging adjacent upholstery. Treat the leather seat with a appropriate conditioner to keep the hide supple over time.

What periods do these pieces come from?

The selection includes pieces originating from the nineteenth century, the Edwardian era, and the Art Deco period. Victorian and Edwardian examples make up the majority of the available hearth seating.
