Description from the seller

These small iron pieces with bronze details are an exceptional piece within the Art & Craft style, and they date from the 19th century, which gives them notable historical and aesthetic value.

Forged in solid iron, they feature a robust and functional structure designed to hold logs in traditional fireplaces. The finials and applications in bronze add a warm, decorative contrast, with organic shapes and handcrafted finishes that reflect the philosophy of the Arts and Crafts movement: the exaltation of manual work over industrial production.

The design combines simple lines with subtle ornamental details, such as scrolls, turned spheres, or botanical motifs, which evoke the medieval and naturalist influence typical of the style. The balanced proportion between iron and bronze suggests careful craftsmanship, possibly carried out in British or French workshops specialized in artistic forging.

Its state of preservation, if it maintains the original patina and intact structural elements, makes it highly sought after by collectors of historical furniture, classic interior decoration enthusiasts, or lovers of functional design with soul.

These small fixtures not only serve a practical purpose but also add character and authenticity to any space, especially in rustic, neo-Gothic, or Victorian-inspired environments.

Certified shipping and good packaging.
