Condition
Overall very good condition. The surfaces throughout the set with surface dirt, patination and evidence of discoloration which is accurately captured in the catalogue illustration. Each elements appears to have been used, and the present surface condition is likely a result of use. The crossbar element is not fixed to the andirons and therefore allows for the adjustment of the width as needed. The wire brush with evidence of use and minor losses to the bristle. The shovel with concentration discoloration to the lower functional portion.
