Companion Sets

Companion Sets are a most distinctive feature of the traditional English open fireplace. In Victorian times especially, with the widespread use of coal fires, companion sets were a practical and integral part of typical English hearth furniture, as well as providing a decorative element into the whole fireside arrangement.

 

Traditional companion set styles were diverse and in a variety of metal finishes - most popular were iron, brass and antique brass, but pewter was quite common, and in more modern times chrome sets have been favoured for their more contemporary feel
