Early 20th Century French Brass and Wrought Iron Fireplace Andirons – Circa 1900–1930

Elegant pair of antique French fireplace andirons, dating from the early 20th century, circa 1900–1930. Combining beautifully shaped brass fronts with sturdy wrought iron supports, these traditional fireplace accessories reflect the elegance of French decorative metalwork.

Origin and Period: France, circa 1900–1930 (estimated dating based on style and construction).

Materials: Brass and wrought iron.

Design: Each andiron features a tall, pointed finial adorned with decorative turned rings, resting on a gracefully curved brass base with rounded feet. The contrasting dark iron supports enhance their authentic antique appearance.

Condition: Good antique condition, with signs of age and use, including natural brass patina, greenish oxidation, surface scratches and rust on the iron supports. These imperfections contribute to their authentic character. Please examine the photographs carefully.
