Hand-forged fire dog with a candle head. Fire dogs were common in fireplaces in the past. They were used to put up the wood and thus get a better fire on the fire. Since we in Sweden often replaced the fireplaces with tiled stoves already in the 18th century, it is unusual with preserved fire dogs here. On the continent, however, and especially in countries such as France and England, open fireplaces have continued and fire dogs are therefore still very common.
Our Swedish fire dog is forged after a model from around 1800. The unique thing about the model is that it has a “candle head”, i.e. a holder for candles, which could be lit and create a cozy atmosphere even though the fire was not lit. This little detail makes our fire dog extra decorative when it stands guard and shines in the otherwise only sooty and black hole of the fireplace. The candle head is also very practical for burning candle butts.
Our fire dog can, depending on the size of the stove, be used alone, or placed in pairs. It is also very decorative just as a stand-alone candlestick. The forging is rough and rustic in character, more peasant forging than fine forging, but of the highest Swedish class in every detail.
Hand forged, linseed oil fired iron. Height 265mm, length 365mm, width 245mm. Weight 1.5kg

Many people are looking for suitable lighting for old homes. Since electricity is a young phenomenon and candles and kerosene are not a practical alternative in everyday life, we at Gysinge have manufactured a “lamp for building conservation” that meets all our requirements for historical anchoring, style, design and electrical safety. The fire fork lamp has borrowed its shape from an 18th century fire fork. The linseed oil-fired forging and the hand-turned brass details are the same as on a well-made 18th century fire fork. What has been added is of course the foot itself and the lighting. We have also chosen a building care detail from our range for the screen; the folded cardboard is made of classic chipboard, which with its white side inwards gives an enhanced light glow and its brown outwards creates a certain transparency and above all a very warm and cozy glow. Chipboard is a long-lasting material that can withstand heat in a completely different way to modern plastic shades. The fire fork lamp is a window and table light and is available in two different heights. The low one fits into any environment, the high, slim one gives a different, slightly more modern impression and fits just as well in a new environment.
Lamp base of linseed oil burned iron with turned transitions in polished brass. Screen stand made of lacquered iron wire with a bracket that prevents the screen from wobbling.
Linseed oil fired forging. Brass details. Height incl. shade 52 cm. Shade width 22 cm. Cord length 210 cm.
Max 40 W.

Floor plinth, planed joinery late 19th century.
Our program of planed joinery from the second half of the 19th century is of a machine-planed variety that was common throughout the country.
This model is known as ‘French carpentry’ and was in production until well into the 20th century. There were normally two variants, one more lavish for finer rooms, such as the hall, atrium and salon.
These rooms included, for example, three-part cornices and three-part high plinths.
For simpler rooms, such as kitchens, bedrooms and chambers, carpentry was used with smaller dimensions and less complicated profiles.
However, some of the moldings, such as linings and breast moldings, tend to be the same, regardless of whether they are in fancier or simpler rooms.

Liquid, unscented wax solution. Intended for the cleaning and protection of hard floors, such as painted wooden floors, stone floors, tiled floors, cork and linoleum carpets and oiled brick floors.
Excellent for mopping floors. Perfect for those who have a linseed oil painted floor and want to keep the freshness of the color while giving the floors a more easily cleaned and dirt-repellent surface. An advantage is that floor wax can be used on all floors in all rooms, regardless of material, in normal cleaning.
Floor wax only works in diluted form to treat or maintain linseed oil painted floors according to the dosage description below.
For the treatment of dry linoleum floors, undiluted floor wax can be applied until the surface is saturated and then polished with a polishing sponge or cloth.

Hand-turned flower pot with barrel of traditional variety. Red flower pot that was developed as a special product for Christmas a few years ago but is now part of the regular range.
Flowerpot production became an industry and mass production in Sweden around the turn of the century 1900. Before then, all pots were made by hand, as were the saucers. The profession was called pottery.
Typical of handmade pots is that you can see the potter’s hands in the ware. The imprints from the hand-turning process create low ridges on the surface and show through on the outside. A hand-turned pot is therefore not as smooth as a machine pot, it is more personal and has more life and variety.
A detail that also reveals the real craftsmanship is the soft, rounded rim at the top. It can certainly be made by machine, but it will never be as soft and individual as on a hand-turned pot.
Traditional flower table in the finest pine. Carved by local cabinetmaker and sculptor.
Untreated. Can be painted with linseed oil paint on request.
