Tuell + Reynolds Montana
fireplace tools
Montana was born of the desire to create fireplace tools
that are classic and functional but possessed of a modern
sensibility. The patinated-bronze-and-iron set includes a
poker, gripper, shovel, and holding stand. The three bronze
finishes—light, medium, and dark—and an optional nickel plate
on accent handles and base are certain to match any interior.
