Brass
If you are looking for fireplace accessories with a little glitz and glam, then our collection of brass finish fireplace accessories might be just what you're looking for!
Within this collection we have a multitude of fireplace accessories to choose from. The collection begins with the safety accessory every fireplace must have - a fireplace screen. Our solid brass fireplace screens are offered in many different styles from simple but elegant to ones with ornate designs. The collection also contains wonderful 5 piece fireplace tool sets that come available in solid brass finish, copper finish, or solid brass and black finish. These tool sets feature a stand plus fireplace shovel, a fireplace broom, a poker, and tongs. From there you will find lovely solid brass wood baskets that come in hand for storing wood next to your fireplace!
But that's not all! One of the most exciting accessories within the brass finish collection are the solid brass andirons. What is an andiron? Glad you asked! An andiron dates back to the sixteenth century (and possibly even further). They have decorative type bars which stand up, called guards. These guards stand on short legs and are then paired with a bar called a shank. What you do is piece the guards and shank together and then place your wood onto the shank. Similar to a fireplace grate, andirons lift your wood off the floor allowing air to pass under them. This not only allows the wood to burn more evenly, but, for the same reason, it also lessens the amount of smoke. So, what is the decorative guard for? You guessed it! The decorative guards can be beautiful, but they are not only for decoration. Their function is to keep the wood from rolling out of the fireplace!
So as you can see, the brass finish collection at PatioShoppers.com offers many fireplace accessory options! If you have questions regarding fireplaces or fireplace accessories, please contact one of our knowledgeable and friendly fireplace experts; they are available 7 days a week!
