fireplace tools

Fireside brass set

Fireplace tools are the implements used to tend a fire burning in a hearth—typically a poker for stirring embers, tongs for moving logs, a small shovel for removing ash, and a brush for sweeping the hearth.

They usually hang together on a decorative stand near the fireplace: The brass fireplace tools came with the house.
