This Victorian solid brass fireplace set dates to 1890 and brings traditional warmth to a living room hearth. The arrangement includes a pair of fire dogs with urn finials and engraved rests, alongside a matching tool rest, a fire poker, tongs, and a shovel featuring shell-shaped elements and turned handles. The polished brass surface exhibits a warm metallic colour throughout, with visible surface wear typical of a functional antique, alongside intricate linear engravings upon the feet and cast details on the hardware. The fire dogs measure 26 cm high by 18 cm wide and 22 cm deep, while the associated tools measure 73 cm high by 15 cm wide and 5 cm deep. Placement suits an active fireplace hearth or decorative fireplace setting, where the polished brass components complement traditional interiors. The suite provides a complete collection of functional fireplace accessories for daily use or period display.

FAQs

Companion sets and fire irons are functional hearth tools created during the nineteenth century to manage open coal or wood fires, typically comprising a shovel, tongs, poker, and rests.

Victorian fire tools were typically cast or turned from solid brass, featuring threaded rod internal construction, decorative finials, and heavy cast bases for stability.

Authentic Victorian pieces exhibit hand-chased or engraved details, naturally uneven wear around hand contact points, solid brass weight, and threaded assembly rather than modern welding.

Position the fire set directly onto a polished stone or tiled hearth alongside a traditional surround to contrast clean contemporary lines with warm metallic tones.

Dust regularly with a soft cloth and apply a specialised brass polish periodically, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that strip historical patina or tarnish protection.
