The earliest fire grates meant to be used with coal weresimple metal baskets with openings in the floor to allow air to circulate.Generally known as dog grates, they are among the most popular antique firegrates today. The front legs (or ‘dogs’) became decorative accents withfanciful castings and carvings.
