Nautical Galleon Tabletop Fireplace Tool Set 1930s

This nautical galleon tabletop fireplace tool set dates to the 1930s to 1950s era and includes an 18 inch stand with four hanging hearth tools.

The sailing ship motif appears at the top of the stand and again on the hanging tool handles, giving the whole set a strong maritime look. At this smaller scale, the tools work well beside a compact fireplace, coal grate, or wood stove, and the set also has enough detail to stand on its own as display.
