DECEMBER SALE
Lot 138:
A Set of Three Baroque Style Brass Fireplace Tools with Stand, Late 19th/Early 20th Century
A fireplace tool set comprising a figural stand and three associated implements: a poker, tongs, and a shovel, executed in brass. The stand features three scrolled legs terminating in clawed feet, supporting sculpted mythological or grotesque figures at the top, capped by a central floral finial. The tools have straight shafts, with the broad shovel head notably adorned with deeply cast or etched foliate scrollwork and a central armorial or mythological design. The overall style suggests a late Victorian or early 20th-century revivalist aesthetic, consistent with Baroque or Louis XV revival styles. No visible manufacturer’s marks or text are discernible.
