This auction ended on October 23, 2025.

Estimated price: £15 - £30

Buyer's Premium: 18%

Sold for: £20

A pair of vintage fireplace tool sets, each comprising a stand and its associated implements, crafted from cast and wrought iron with a dark, aged finish. The first set (left) features a simpler, more utilitarian design with plain handles and a basic looped stand top. The second set (right) is more ornate, showcasing twisted shafts on its tools, decorative scrollwork for tool hangers, and a prominent finial atop its stand, suggesting a traditional or possibly early 20th-century decorative style. Illegible raised markings are visible on the bases of both stands and faintly on the shovel blade of the right set.
