This Eye Fireplace Companion Set is crafted entirely by hand in my Sussex forge. A robust, functional toolkit built for real fires and designed to last a lifetime. The set includes a poker, tongs, a shovel, and a brush, each made from solid forged steel, and mounted on a gracefully balanced stand that’s both practical and sculptural.
 
What makes this set special is its simplicity. The “eye” motif - open, organic, and understated - gives the steel a subtle elegance, while the textured forging and traditional beeswax finish bring warmth and character. It’s not just a fire tool set; it’s a piece of ironwork art that earns its place beside your hearth.
 
Built to withstand regular use in open fireplaces or wood-burning stoves, the components are heavy enough to feel substantial yet balanced enough to handle easily. The 500 mm long tools feel just right in the hand, and the stand (around 650 mm tall) provides sturdy, dependable storage, keeping everything tidy and accessible.
 
Because each piece is hot-forged individually, there are natural variations in texture and finish - a hallmark of true handmade craftsmanship. The beeswax finish can easily be maintained with a light oil cloth, and over time, the tool set will develop a rich patina that reflects years of use and care.
Ideal for people who value function, durability, and beautiful craftsmanship. This companion set makes a thoughtful and practical gift for homeowners, designers, or anyone who spends time around a fire.
 
Care Instructions:
Use a lightly oiled cloth to maintain the finish. If used frequently, reapply wax periodically to keep the metal protected and looking its best.
