Brutalist fireplace tool set consisting of a stand and four tools, designed and hand-wrought by David Marshall during the 1970s. This sculptural companion set features Marshall’s characteristic marriage of materials, seamlessly joining sand-cast molten brass handles to heavy, robust black iron shafts. The tools are suspended from a centralized minimalist iron stand that rests on an organic, tri-legged cast brass base. Each tool exhibits a rugged, tactile texture with visible casting marks and a finish that catches light dynamically. The set is signed by the artist. A rare architectural statement piece, this authentic set is ideal for adding a mid-century modernist or brutalist accent to a luxury residential hearth, mountain lodge, or contemporary gallery interior. The set remains in excellent vintage condition, showing an authentic patina on the iron elements and natural tone variations on the brass components consistent with age and careful use.
