Description
This is a fine quality antique English traditional 18th century style small fire grate, made from cast iron, circa 1870, in excellent original condition. Benefitting from a freestanding design, this fire dog basket features a circular back, depicting three characters, in what appears to be in a tavern or cobblers’ shop. The fire grate is constructed with two taller dome caped legs at the rear, and two smaller shaped legs at the front. The small fire grate frame is constructed with a castellated basket, incorporating decorative riveted studs and vertical spike bars for keeping the logs in place. The internal floor grate can be removed from the basket, allowing for easy cleaning. The fire dog basket can be used with either wood or coal. The log basket weights 22kg. The small fire grate frame is constructed of cast and hand forged iron and the open fire grate features an attractive finish, giving it a lovely colour and appearance.
This small log basket would look superb in a variety of hearths or fireside locations. It would certainly grace any home and is a great investment as it not only extremely functional but also highly decorative, which can also house Floral displays.

We offer free delivery to mainland England, Wales, and Southern Scotland (anywhere south of Stirling). *We do not offer free delivery to locations north of Stirling in Scotland, Northern Ireland, or any British Islands off the mainland; for example, the Isle of Man, Isle of White and Channel Islands. If you live in one of the areas where we do not offer free delivery, please contact us for a delivery quote before purchasing the item. Delivery will be made by our specialised antique furniture delivery service, or in some cases we will use a courier service for distant deliveries.
Delivery times are usually 1-4 weeks depending on location; we aim to deliver the majority of items within 2 weeks. All items are professionally packaged and fully insured in transit; therefore, we can assure you, your items will be securely protected in transit and arrive safely with you.
Once you have purchased an item, we will contact you by email and/or telephone and provide you with a provisional delivery date, in order for you to confirm if it is suitable for you. Once you have confirmed you can accept delivery on the provisional delivery date, we will book the delivery in with our shippers and it then becomes a confirmed delivery date.
We will also provide you with our shippers’ contact details, in case you need to contact the driver on the day of delivery. It’s helpful if you can provide us with both the landline and mobile telephone number, in case the driver cannot reach you on one of the numbers on the day of delivery, they can contact you on your alternative number.
In order to be able to offer you free delivery, it is based on a 1-man delivery only. For any large items that require 2 people to lift the item, we ask that you are available at the time of delivery to be able to give our shipper a lift off the van and into your house with the item. If you are not able to lift items yourself, we ask that you have someone on hand at the time of delivery to assist our shipper with lifting the item.
