Description
Reclaimed Fire Basket and Dogs- Cast Iron
This Reclaimed Fire Basket and Dogs brings a sense of history and warmth to any fireplace setting. Measuring 24 inches wide and 20½ inches tall, it’s a substantial basket that suits both period homes and rustic new builds. Crafted from cast iron, it includes two decorative fire dogs featuring brass-topped spires with an Eastern-inspired form.
Fire dogs, also known as andirons, support the fire basket and help raise logs off the hearth floor. This improves airflow beneath the burning wood and encourages cleaner, more efficient fires. The cast iron fire basket sits securely between them, holding the fuel in place.
Cast iron is ideal for a fire basket and dogs due to its strength and heat resistance. It withstands high temperatures without warping or cracking. Additionally, cast iron retains heat well, helping radiate warmth into the room even after the fire dies down.
The history of cast iron dates back over 2,000 years, with early use seen in ancient China. In Britain, cast iron became widespread during the Industrial Revolution. It allowed for the mass production of durable household and architectural items, including fireplace components. Indeed, its strength, weight, and malleability made it a preferred material for fire grates and hearth fittings.
