Set of fire irons

This set of wrought iron fire irons was designed by Sir Robert Lorimer and made by Thomas Hadden's Ironworks in Edinburgh around 1915.

The set consists of a small shovel, a poker, fire tongs and a shaped stand.

Sir Robert Lorimer (1864-1929) was one of the foremost architects of his day. His main inspiration came from studying traditional Scottish buildings and furnishings, and from the natural world.
