I 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 condition, with a bit of a sway in one direction to the bristles, as pictured.
