Hand-forged fire dog with a candle head. Fire dogs were common in fireplaces in the past. They were used to put up the wood and thus get a better fire on the fire. Since we in Sweden often replaced the fireplaces with tiled stoves already in the 18th century, it is unusual with preserved fire dogs here. On the continent, however, and especially in countries such as France and England, open fireplaces have continued and fire dogs are therefore still very common.

Our Swedish fire dog is forged after a model from around 1800. The unique thing about the model is that it has a “candle head”, i.e. a holder for candles, which could be lit and create a cozy atmosphere even though the fire was not lit. This little detail makes our fire dog extra decorative when it stands guard and shines in the otherwise only sooty and black hole of the fireplace. The candle head is also very practical for burning candle butts.

Our fire dog can, depending on the size of the stove, be used alone, or placed in pairs. It is also very decorative just as a stand-alone candlestick. The forging is rough and rustic in character, more peasant forging than fine forging, but of the highest Swedish class in every detail.
