Vintage Coal Shuttle & Fireplace Tools
This lot comprises a selection of vintage fireplace tools, including a distinctive coal shuttle. The shuttle, crafted from cast iron, features a robust handle and a scoop designed for efficiently transferring coal to the fire. Alongside the shuttle is a small, ornate fireplace fender, likely intended to protect the hearth from stray embers and add a touch of Victorian elegance to the fireside. These tools represent a bygone era of home heating and offer a glimpse into the domestic life of previous generations.
Condition & Collectibility
The items show signs of age and use, with some surface rust and wear consistent with their age. The coal shuttle retains its original character and patina, while the fender displays a charmingly weathered appearance. These pieces would appeal to collectors of antique fireplace accessories, those restoring a period property, or anyone seeking a unique and characterful addition to their home décor. The set offers a tangible connection to the past and a touch of rustic charm.
