AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Pair of antique fireplace ankle irons, made of solid brass and wrought iron, with a classic French-inspired design. Each piece features a turned brass finial, with smooth, balanced lines, accompanied by a base with ornamental volutes, vegetal details, Fleur-de-Lis with pinnacle motifs characteristic of 19th–early 20th century craftsmanship.

The rear iron structure retains its original function: to elevate and support the logs to improve flame ventilation. They retain an authentic patina, with the warm sheen of aged brass and the iron in its original dark tone, which enhances their historical character.

Approximate measurements

• Height: 20 cm
• Length of the iron bar: 38 cm
• Width of the decorative base: 14 cm.

Ideal for

• Interior decoration with a classic or rustic aesthetic
• Restoration of antique fireplaces
• Collectors of historical metalwork
• Set design, photography, or ambiance.

With patina preserved, metals can be polished to a bright finish very practically and manageably.

This pair of Morillos is not new, over 120 years old, handmade with finishes of their own; the pinnacles have slopes and irregularities typical of their age and use.
