Andiron (2) - Louis XV - Bronze, Cast iron - Florentini

They are two morillos that perfectly condense the decorative taste of the nineteenth century, when the fireplace was a central point of the home and its accessories were conceived not only as functional elements but as pieces of aesthetic presence. The front, made of bronze, shows that voluptuous and elegant profile of the Louis XV style: generous curves, lines that ripple naturally, urn-shaped finials, and a stepped base that provides visual balance. The warm shine of the metal, softened by the years, enhances every relief and gives the pair an air of domestic nobility.

The rear structure, in forged iron, maintains the solidity needed to support the logs, with that austere, practical character that contrasts with the ornamental richness of the front. At each termination appear the blacksmith’s inscriptions, small marks that function as an artisanal signature and add historical and human value to the piece: they remind us that these morillos were created one by one, not mass-produced.

The set conveys the sinuous elegance of late Rococo reinterpreted in the full 19th century, with that mix of theatricality and refinement that made the fireplace a stage. They are pieces that speak of a time when even fire was framed with art.
