Mid-Century French Louis XVI Style Brass and Iron Fireplace Tool Set

$675

About

Weighing at an impressive 15 pounds, this elegant vintage fireplace tool set, traditionally known in France as a serviteur de cheminée, was crafted circa 1970. The complete five-piece set combines polished brass with blackened iron, creating a refined contrast well suited to both traditional and contemporary interiors.

the circular stand rests on a molded brass base fitted with a raised gallery and a black metal inset designed to catch ash and debris. A slender central standard supports four coordinating fireplace tools, each finished with a polished brass finial. The set includes a shovel, brush, poker, and fire tongs, all suspended neatly from shaped brass rests.

Long black iron shafts give the tools a clean, architectural appearance, while the turned brass handles and spherical finials introduce a restrained Louis XVI and neoclassical influence. Both practical and decorative, this vintage fireside set would make an attractive addition beside a fireplace in a living room, library, study, bedroom, or den.

The fireplace tool set is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, with minor surface wear to the brass and iron consistent with its history.

Dimensions: 9.5” W x 8” D x 30” H
