Filigree Fire Basket

An egg-shaped fire basket made up of coral like latticework shapes in rusted steel attached to an oval shaped base with a rim to contain the ash.

In this highly detailed fire basket, the vessel that contains the fire is a coral like, open latticework of metal allowing the air in to feed the fire. It is big enough to fit large logs. When lit, the outside creates stunning silhouettes against the fire light, while inside the metal takes on a beautiful orange glow. The fire basket has an oval base with a rim to contain the ash and make it easy to clean. The base has holes at each end to allow rain water to drain.

Siting and fixing
The Filigree Fire Basket has insulating bricks attached to the underside of the base. This is to stop the high heat of the metal base plate from leaving burn marks on hard standing or lawns. The fire basket is a versatile piece that can be placed on outdoor locations that are safe for a fire basket like a terrace or lawn and suitable for rusty metal. It is is very stable and intentionally heavy to move around to ensure this stability.
Care
The rusty metal finish requires no surface treatment. After use, once all embers are fully extinguished, you can easily clear away the ash as it falls through the holes in the design. After rain the holes in the base plate allow water to be easily drained.
