This is a very rare set of gigantic antique solid handmade wrought iron fireplace tools/ andiron set. The whole set is completely handmade from extremely heavy iron and completely hand wrought with intense detailing.
Made around the turn of the century and done by a master blacksmith. The andirons are a large set and wrought from 3 solid pieces, the two swirled legs and the middle shaft which is bend to the a 90 degree angle to the place where the wood rests. They have very large detailed tops and swirled shafts, very well made and each measures 22 1/2 inches tall by 21 1/2 inches back to front by 12 1/2 inches wide. The iron tool set is truly a stellar/ gigantic set.
It is a double swirled tri-footed stand with a massive swirled shaft and swirled finial with ball top. It take extreme skill to achieve the things these pieces have achieved.There are three arms at the top which are also swirled and have U shaped hooks with curved tips to hold the square part of each tool. The stand alone measures a large 42 inches tall by 18 inches wide, and very heavy.
There are three tools which all are hand wrought from very thick/ heavy iron, have swirled shafts, and nicely stylized O-shaped handles. A large shovel with a wide head and beautifully riveted to the shaft with a spike mount and swirled sides. The poker has a very nice stylized dual sided tip which is very thick and an affective tool. Last but not least is the grabber, it has half ball shaped tips that create a sphere when met together, and a great thick iron curved neck.
All the tools are all very heavy quality iron. Each tool measures about 40 inches long and the shovel head is 10 1/2 inches wide.
The whole set is in great shape with a nice patina. EXTREMELY RARE HUGE HANDMADE FIREPLACE SET. This is as good as it gets for wrought iron art.
