Description from the seller
Vintage Neoclassical Solid Brass Fireplace Set "Tête de Cheval" – France, 1950s
Offered is an elegant 5-piece vintage fireplace set (serviteur) in French neoclassical style from the mid-20th century (circa 1950). This iconic "Tête de Cheval" model is crafted from solid brass and features beautifully detailed handles shaped like horse heads.
The set comprises:
1x Central stand with heavy round base and four-armed hanging bracket
1x Fireplace poker
1x Ash shovel
1x Fireplace tongs
1x Fireplace brush/scraper
The item is in its original, unrestored condition. The brass has developed over the years a gorgeous, authentic dark patina that testifies to its history. The set shows normal age and signs of use consistent with its age (see photos for an accurate impression of the condition).
If desired, the brass can be easily polished by the buyer to a high-gloss golden finish.
Important note regarding condition: At the top of the central hanging bracket (where the tools hang) a small piece of brass is missing from one of the arms/attachments (see detail photo). This hardly affects the decorative value of this vintage set, but it should be mentioned.
