Decorative iron fireplace accessories allow you to have the durability of a must-have fireplace tool without sacrifing any style.
Tools and Stands
One iron fireplace accessory no hearth should be without is a high quality tool set, which comes in styles to fit any room. A fireplace tool set usually contains a brush for sweeping up the hearth, shovel for cleaning out ashes, a poker for stirring embers, and a stand. Five-piece tool sets also include tongs for picking up individual embers.
Andirons
A pair of andirons offers a decorative alternative to the utilitarian, fireplace grate. Both hold logs up to allow proper ventilation under the fire, but andirons do it with style. The upright guards are elaborately decorated with abstract designs or small vertical figures.
Log Racks and Log Holders
A fireplace needs firewood, and log racks hold an evening's supply of firewood conveniently near the hearth. From hoops to cradles with scroll, leaf, or craftsman designs, iron fireplace accessory racks are available to fit any room's décor. Many even have sections for keeping newspaper or other tinder close at hand.
Iron Fire Screens
A decorative iron fireplace accessory screen lends style to a fireplace even when there is no fire. Flat or multi-paneled screens with plain fronts or delicate wrought iron work make the fireplace opening a year-round focal point of the room.
