Striking mid-century modern fireplace tool set attributed to George Nelson. This four-piece set includes a poker, shovel, tongs, and brush, each featuring elegant cylindrical brass handles paired with black iron shafts for a clean, architectural contrast.
The minimalist design and refined materials are consistent with Nelson’s signature aesthetic—functional modernism elevated through proportion and detail. The sculptural looped design of the tongs and the crisp geometric lines across all tools make this a standout addition to any modern or contemporary interior.
A rare and collectible example of mid-century hearth design, both decorative and fully functional.
Dimensions (approx.):
Each tool measures about 30” in length.
Condition:
