Fact #1. There are few items in the home that play a role so equally balanced between appearance and functionality as fireplace tools. In the late spring, summer, and the early fall, the set will sit untouched, if not even put away and out of sight. During the late autumn and throughout winter, many homes see their tools used daily.
Fact #2. Safety and convenience merit the owning of a good set of fireplace tools. This means, at the minimum, owning a reliable pair of fireplace tongs. You must have a way to move around burning logs. In most cases, your fireplace accessories should involve a more complete set comprised of tongs, a poker, a brush, and a shovel.
Fact #3. Tools selected primarily for their looks may be those that lose their aesthetic appeal the quickest. A set of shiny brass hearth accessories will look lovely for a season or longer. However, they'll eventually take on a tarnished patina as the metal's luster fades.
Fact #4. Copper lacks the bright shine of polished metals. The change in its appearance that aging brings is more subtle, but it too will darken and take on new coloration with time. The look of aged copper will be adored by some, lamented by others. The more heavily used a given tool is, the more quickly it will age. This is based on the oils on skin, the exposure to ash, soot, and heat, and the more frequent cleaning.
Fact #5. If you'll use your tools as often as you admire them, it's best to consider a set made from iron. If you're selecting fireplace tools primarily for their looks, then another metal should serve well for several years at least. This is especially true if they'll be stored away in most seasons.
