A Collection of Copper and Brass Hearth Accessories and Fireside Tools
Description
A collection of vintage fireside metalware comprising a coal scuttle, a kettle, and various hearth tools. The coal scuttle is of hammered copper construction in a traditional helmet-shaped design, featuring a fixed brass overhead handle and a smaller brass loop handle at the rear, both attached with rivets. The copper kettle features a gooseneck spout and a fixed brass overhead handle with a turned wooden grip. The group includes a three-piece brass companion set consisting of a central stand with a turned finial and circular base, a small hearth brush with dark natural bristles, and a flat-bladed ember shovel, all featuring matching turned handles. Further items include a long-handled brass toasting fork with a three-pronged decorative head and a stylized openwork handle terminal featuring a crown-like motif, and a pair of scissor-action fire tongs constructed from wrought steel with brass finger loops. No maker’s marks or signatures are visible on any of the items.
