The lot contains a hammered copper coal scuttle with a fixed bail handle, together with a set of fire tools with cast brass handles, including a shovel, poker, brush, and tongs. A pair of cast metal tool stands with foliate-decorated uprights and stepped rectangular bases completes the set. No manufacturer marks are present.
