Quality Hand-Made Fireside Companion Set
This comprehensive 4-piece Fireside Companion Set is an outstanding example of early 20th-Century iron mongery, distinguished by its heavy weight and clear hand-forged craftsmanship. This ensemble—comprising the stand and four tools—was crafted by a skilled artisan, likely during the Arts and Crafts movement era.
The pieces exhibit the unique character of hand-worked metal. Details like the hammered finial on the stand and the clean, tapering lines of the tool handles demonstrate the skill of the blacksmith. The heavy construction ensures the stand is highly stable.
The stand features strong, architectural lines with an elegant Art Nouveau or Arts and Crafts influence, particularly evident in the graceful scrolls, the open diamond patterns on the column, and the overall emphasis on honest, unadorned material and form.
The complete set includes the stand and four essential fireside tools (shovel/scoop, poker, tongs, and a brush), all designed to hang beautifully from the stylised stand. The sturdy construction ensures these tools are fully practical for a working fireplace.
It functions as both a vital hearth accessory and a striking piece of sculptural metal art.
