The top couple of joints of one corner have been smashed a bit

With their elegant graphics and terrific color palettes

Lovely Antique Horsehair Hearth Broom wooden salt spoons The top couple of jointsI believe this lovely small broom likely dates to the mid to late 19th century and would be referred to as a hearth broom, perhaps once part of a set of fireplace tools. I think it is really great looking, with a nice warm patina to the wood and full head of black horsehair bristles perfect for hanging on the wall as part of a brush or broom collection, but also definitely ready to put to use! 20 1 2" long x 6" across at head, 1 1 2" deep. Very good
