Mid-century modern wrought iron fireplace tool set by Maison Honoré, 1970s

This fireplace tool set was made by the French firm Maison Honoré in the 1970s, within the sculptural metal aesthetic of the Mid-century modern movement. The set is made of steel and wrought iron with a metallic finish in a natural grey tone. The stand consists of wide flat metal strips curved in a continuous line that cross at the bottom to form four open legs and rise to an overhanging upper arm. The set includes the curved floor stand and four hanging tools: a shovel with riveted joint, a poker with a pointed end, tongs for firewood made from a bent strip, and a brush with a moulded wooden head and dark bristles. Each tool has a hooked or riveted loop at the top to hang directly from the rectangular structure of the stand. Its architectural profile allows it to be integrated next to the fireplace in a living room, library, or mountain residence, in dialogue with Brutalist or Mid-century modern interiors. Another set of tools and matching andirons are also available for sale in the shop to complete the fireplace set. Dimensions: Height 74 cm, Width 20 cm, Depth 50 cm.
