About the Item

This vintage French Gothic fireplace tool set, known as a Serviteur, was crafted in wrought iron during the mid-20th century. Substantial in both scale and weight at 46 pounds, the set comprises five elements: a tall stand and four tools; poker, tongs, brush, and shovel, each suspended from scrolled hooks. The stand rises on a shaped base with arched feet, its uprights enriched by pierced Gothic tracery and iron twist details. The tools echo the medieval-inspired style with forged handles, robust proportions, and a consistent blackened iron patina. Together they embody the French tradition of artisanal ironwork, designed for both daily function and decorative presence. With its commanding height of 58 inches and heavy construction, this Serviteur is as practical as it is architectural, ideal for anchoring a grand fireplace, château interior, or rustic lodge. A fine example of mid-century French craftsmanship, it bridges utility with historic revival design. Excellent vintage condition with minor wear consistent with age and use. Solid and heavy, all tools present and functional.
