This complete three-piece set of Victorian fireplace tools dates from the 19th century and comprises a poker, a shovel, and a pair of decorative tongs, all made from polished brass in a bright golden tone. The items exhibit shaped finial tops with ring handles, slender turned shafts, and cast details including a shovel blade with pierced scrollwork and scrolled foliate hardware at the upper section of the tongs. Each piece shows the subtle surface patination and minor wear typical of authentic antique metalware from this period. The entire set measures 81.3 cm high, 18 cm wide, and 2.5 cm deep overall, with individual lengths of 76.2 cm for the poker, 81.3 cm for the shovel, and 80 cm for the tongs. These traditional hearth accessories bring period character to a working or decorative fireplace in a living room, study, or drawing room today, where they stand directly on the hearth or hang from a companion stand.

Victorian fire irons are sets of metal tools, typically comprising a poker, shovel, and tongs, designed to manage open coal or wood fires in nineteenth-century hearths.

These sets were primarily manufactured from cast or turned brass, wrought iron, or steel, frequently featuring polished brass handles and decorative pierced work on the shovel blade.

Authentic Victorian pieces often feature cast detail, hand-chased ornamentation, weighted handles, and threaded assembly rather than modern uniform welds.

Position the companion set beside a working or decorative fireplace opening, resting within a tool stand or along the hearth to complement period architectural details.

Dust regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply a dedicated metal polish to manage surface oxidisation, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive pads.
