  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To clean a brass fire surround, mix equal parts flour, salt and vinegar to make a paste. Then rub the mixture onto brass and wipe off. Repeat the process with one tablespoon salt and two tablespoons vinegar in one pint of warm water. Shop a selection of brass fire surrounds on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021
    The best metal for a fire pit is ultimately a matter of preference. Both cast iron and steel fire pits are long-lasting. However, cast iron is a better material for a fire pit than steel because it has advantages over steel, such as being more durable, getting hot faster, and retaining heat better than steel. Shop a range of antique and vintage fire pits on 1stDibs.
