A handsome pair of Victorian-era cast iron and brass fireplace tongs, once essential tools for tending the hearth and still wonderfully useful today. Traditionally used to grasp, adjust, and safely reposition burning logs or coals, their practical function remains unchanged—making them both a decorative and functional addition to any fireside setting.
They feature a classic hinged design that allows the arms to open and close smoothly, offering secure control. At the top, an elegant urn-shaped brass finial adds a refined touch, beautifully contrasted by the weighty cast iron arms below. The metal surfaces show a lovely, time-earned patination, lending depth, warmth, and the unmistakable charm of a well-aged Victorian tool.
Hand selected in and imported from England. For those wishing to create a coordinated fireside ensemble, a pair of matching andirons is also available in our online collection.
