The hearth footman is a fireplace component that has an unusual name. There are no definitions for it available. Footmen are four legged stands, approximately 15 inches tall made of brass or iron. Sitting on the hearth, with two straight legs facing the fire and two cabroile legs facing front. In the past they were used to hold culinary utensils such as tea pots to warm. Today they add a very distinctive look to the fireplace.
