Description
Our ball topped companion set brings together the everyday tools of the hearth in a warm antique brass finish. Standing 40cm tall on a slim footprint of 12x12cm, it gathers a poker, brush, shovel and tongs around a central stand, each handle finished with a rounded ball top that gives the set its name. Cast and finished in metal, the brass surface carries a mellow, gently aged tone rather than a bright polish, so it sits happily beside both open fires and wood burning stoves.
As a fireside accessory it earns its place close to the grate, where the tools stay to hand for tending logs and clearing ash. The upright stand keeps everything neat and off the floor, which suits smaller hearths as well as larger inglenooks. We like it paired with a matching log basket or bucket in the same warm brass tone, set against a stone or slate surround for contrast. In a country cottage it reads traditional, while against a plainer painted chimney breast it adds a touch of quiet detail without crowding the room.
Practical to use and easy to maintain, the metal construction stands up to regular handling at the hearth. Wipe the brass with a soft dry cloth to lift dust and the odd smudge, and buff occasionally to keep the finish even. Avoid harsh abrasives, which can wear through the antique surface. Return each tool to its hook after use to keep the set tidy and to protect the ball tops from knocks.
