Fire dogs, the popular name for andirons and chenets, are metal supports for logs in the fireplace, usually standing with two feet at the front and one at the back. They hold the wood above the hearth level allowing the air to pass around it to facilitate burning. Until the beginning of the 15th century they were made of wrought iron, and after this date were made in cast iron or steel, often with decorative brass embellishments.
