## By configuration and finish

| Configuration | Finish | Indicative price |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 3 pieces (tongs, shovel, brush) | Blackened and waxed steel | **€180 – €260** |

Factors

## What makes the price vary
     Number of pieces
A 5-piece set (with an ash bucket) requires more material and forging time than a 3-piece set.
   Finish
A flue-rated paint rated to 600°C costs more to apply than simple oil-blackening, but tolerates direct contact with embers.
   Steel thickness
A poker meant for daily, intensive use needs a thicker section than a decorative piece used rarely.
   Ornate or plain
Forged scrollwork on the stand or handles adds forging time, billed accordingly.
   Height and dimensions
A taller stand (up to 75cm) or longer tools require more material than a compact model — confirmed based on your fireplace.
   Antique or contemporary style
An antique-style reproduction (scrollwork, more ornate proportions) follows the same grid as the standard set, see our dedicated page.

For comparison

## What you'll find elsewhere

> Market reference points gathered in 2026 from mass-market retailers (subject to change) — not this workshop's prices. They mainly show the gap between an entry-level thin-steel set and a solid, custom-forged piece.

Entry-level sets (4 or 5 pieces, thin steel, standard high-temperature paint) run roughly €35 to €50 at DIY retailers — for example the Dixneuf Brio around €44.90, or ManoMano 5-piece sets between €34.99 and €101.63. Mid-range sets run around €70 to €100 (Le Marquier Elaia ~€71.90, Devaux Atole ~€99.90, sometimes labelled "made in France"). Secondhand pieces sell for €10 to €70 depending on condition. No mass-market retailer publishes a price for a solid, hand-forged set with a flue-rated finish — this segment remains structurally a quote-based market, not a catalog-price one.

On the separate antiques segment, a genuinely old piece most often trades between €240 and over €2,000 depending on age, material and condition — a different market from a new reproduction, see our [antique-style fireplace tool set](https://garniture-de-cheminee.fr/en/antique-style-fireplace-tool-set/) page.

Reference point

## Dimensions and price

Dimensions matter less for price than piece count or finish, but they do factor in: a compact set (stand around 65cm, tools around 50cm, close to an entry-level retail model) needs less material than a larger one (stand up to 75cm, tools up to 72-75cm, close to the fullest 5-piece models observed on the market). See our [fireplace tool set](https://garniture-de-cheminee.fr/en/wrought-iron-fireplace-tool-set/) page for the detail of dimensions observed on real models.

Frequently asked questions

## What we get asked most often
      Why does a forged set cost more than a mass-market one?
Most mass-market sets are made of thin steel, sometimes coated with a high-temperature paint capped at 200°C — not a solid, hand-forged piece with a finish designed for direct contact with embers.
     Does the price include delivery?
To be confirmed in your quote, depending on your address and chosen delivery method.
     Can I choose a different finish than the one shown for a configuration?
Yes — every piece-count/finish combination is confirmed in your quote; these grids are only starting reference points.
     Is the quote free and non-binding?
Yes — requesting a quote is free and non-binding; the workshop replies with a first estimate within 48h.
     Is a secondhand antique piece cheaper?
Not necessarily — on the antiques market, old sets most often trade between €240 and over €2,000 depending on age, material and condition, with no fixed grid. See our antique-style fireplace tool set page for the detail.
     Do larger dimensions raise the price much?
Yes, to a lesser extent than piece count or finish: a taller stand and longer tools need slightly more raw material, to be quoted based on your exact dimensions.
