On offer is an antique brass tripod firedog designed by Dr Christopher Dresser and produced by the renowned metalworking firm Benham and Froud. Dresser, active in the late 19th century, is widely regarded as one of Britain’s earliest industrial designers, known for his bold, modernist forms. This example shows the characteristic spherical body, tripod legs and horizontal bar associated with his documented firedog designs.

The piece is in good condition overall, with age-related wear consistent with use. The top bar is loose and moves side to side, noted for accuracy.

A strong example of Benham and Froud brass work and an iconic Dresser form.
