French Art Deco Hand Forged Andirons with Stepped Heart Design

The hand forged metal has a warm bronze toned finish and an elaborate openwork pattern composed of heart shaped curves. These forms rise in a stepped arrangement, creating a decorative effect that is both geometric and sculptural. The arched feet and curled upper details complete their beautifully balanced design.

Also known as firedogs, these andirons can be placed behind a variety of fireplace screens and used to support firewood. They would also make impressive decorative elements in a fireplace when not in use. The pair remains in original condition with an attractive period patina.
