Description from the seller

It depicts an antique brass fireplace cleaning set. One of the most distinctive elements of the set is the ornate double-headed eagle motif on the top of the holder.
Set Features:
Material: A combination of brass (or gilded bronze).
Design: The holder has a twisted columnar (so-called “barley twist”) pattern and stands on three ornate, curved legs.
Accessories: Complete sets usually consist of 4-5 tools, such as a broom, shovel, tongs, and brush.
Style: Often referred to as French Country or Historicist style.
French Provincial: A fusion of rustic elegance and functional metalwork. This type of brass fittings were common in 19th-century French manor houses.
Neo-Baroque / Historicism: The "barley twist" (twisted or orphan) column in the center and the ornate, legged base evoke the Baroque style, which came back into fashion in the late 19th century.
Heraldic motifs: The ornament on top (a double-headed eagle) is a classic European symbol that lends dignity and an antique character to the object.

We can post it carefully packaged, in an insured, registered package.
