Ciulli- The company “Antonio Ciulli e Figlio” (Antonio Ciulli & Son) started out in Florence in 1902 as a craftsman’s workshop; in over 100 years of activity it has changed and grown to become a company nationally and internationally renowned, never forgetting the production rules and criteria so typical of the Florentine artistic craftsmanship.

Today the company has 2 different brands:  “Ciulli 1902”, for interior lighting, home and complementary furnishings, and “Calydia” for bathroom accessories. Customers can choose among their wide range of products, all of them with a high-level classic style.

Andirons and fire-dogs are the same thing, metal supports used in pairs in a fire place to hold burning logs.

“Andiron” adopted from the Old French andier has been in English language since 1300, and was originally spelled aundyrne in English. The presence of “iron” in later versions of the word was the result of a misunderstanding. In early days, people confused the ending of aundyrne with two Middle English spellings of “iron”- yre and yen. The word “dog” has mean-while been used since the mid 1400s for a variety of devices or tools for grabbing and holding: clamps, levers, nails, screws, pincers, grappling irons and so on.

It was perhaps inevitable that a andiron would eventually be referred to as a “dog” and this came about in the late 16^th Century.
