This is a beautifully crafted pair of sculptural andirons, or fire dogs, made from wrought iron and dating from the early 20th century. The design carefully balances the classical and the modernist, creating a timeless and elegant appearance.
The andirons feature a striking form, characterized by gracefully sweeping curves that converge at the top in a pointed and curled finial which looks like a stylized flame. This upward movement gives the pieces a sense of lightness and elegance, despite the solid, robust nature of the material used.
The wrought iron has developed a rich patina over time, with subtle variations in tone.
Dimensions: W. 37 x D. 41 x H. 43 cm
