Surprisingly difficult to source: fireplace tools. Here’s a roundup of good choices for the well-appointed hearth.
Above: LA design outfit Commune’s Fireplace Tools are made of steel with a bronze oiled finish; the set of five is $2,700 at Commune. Above: The Modernist Tool Set at Rejuvenation is a set of iron tools with leather wrapped handles; $199. Above: Designed by Arik Levy, the Arik Levy’s Fire Tools is made of cast-aluminum with a bucket for storage (that can also fit a few fire logs along with the tools); $305 at Luminaire. Above: Crate & Barrel’s Fireplace Tools are available in black or pewter-finished iron; $169. Above: The Thom Fougere Fire Tools Set, shown in brushed brass with oak, includes a poker modeled after a tree branch (a tool that “instinctively lends itself to tending to a fire in the wilderness,” Fougere says); a deep, spade-shaped shovel that efficiently collects soot; a horsehair brush; and a Shaker-inspired stand; $1,595 CAD ($1,212 USD) at Mjölk. For more on the tools, which are also available in walnut, see World’s Most Beautiful Fireplace Tools from Mjölk in Toronto. Above: The 5-Piece Fireplace Tool Set is made of wrought iron; $77.99 at All Modern. Above: Rejuvenation’s Triangle Tool Set is handmade in the US using traditional French methods; $299. Above: You can find antique sets on 1st Dibs such as this Pilgrim 1950s Modernist Wrought Iron Fire Place Tool Set; $1,400.
Above: From Italian blacksmith Angelo Garro, the Firetools are available through Renaissance Forge. Contact for pricing and ordering information. Above: The Black Iron Tools from Pilgrim Hearth are sold individually: the matte black brush, poker, shovel, and tong. Contact Pilgrim Hearth for pricing and information.
