FAQs

Fireside tools, historically known as fire irons or a companion set, typically consist of a poker, a pair of tongs, and a shovel. Designed to manage solid fuel fires, these implement sets became prominent decorative hearth elements during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Victorian and Edwardian fireside tools were predominantly manufactured from cast iron, wrought steel, polished brass, or a combination of metals. High-end sets often feature brass handles, ribbed grips, or decorative finials mated to steel rods.

Authentic period fireside tools feature handmade construction details such as riveted joints, hand-pierced shovel patterns, hand-lathed handle grooves, and natural surface patination or subtle oxidisation along the shafts.

Antique fire irons can be displayed beside an active log burner or open hearth to ground the space with historical detail, or arranged within an ornamental non-working fireplace alcove alongside birch logs.

Maintain brass elements with a gentle metal polish and a soft cloth to manage tarnish. Steel elements should be wiped dry and occasionally treated with a light coating of microcrystalline wax to prevent oxidisation and rust.
