AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant and richly detailed antique fireplace tool set, complete with its original ornate stand and four matching tools. Crafted in cast metal with a warm brass/bronze tone, the set features elaborate scrollwork, floral motifs and sculptural handles, showcasing the decorative vocabulary typical of late‑19th to early‑20th‑century hearth accessories.
The stand is topped with a finely modelled handle and a raised decorative platform, from which the tools hang neatly. Each tool — shovel, brush, poker and tongs — carries the same intricate design language, creating a cohesive and visually impressive ensemble. The set displays a beautiful aged patina consistent with its age, adding depth and authenticity to the metalwork.
A striking decorative object for traditional, vintage or eclectic interiors, and a functional accessory for those who still enjoy a working fireplace. Its height and proportions make it an eye‑catching accent piece even when used purely decoratively.
Dimensions:
• Stand height: 67 cm
• Base diagonal: 16 cm
• Weight (total): approx. 2.66 kg
• Tools: approx. 45 cm each
A characterful and complete antique set with strong decorative presence.
Condition
Good vintage condition with expected signs of age, including patina, minor wear and small surface marks. Brush bristles show age‑appropriate use. All tools hang correctly and the stand is stable. Dimensions may differ +- 5 cm
