Mid-20th Century French Brass Andirons - Sculptural Form and Patina

A striking pair of mid-20th century French andirons featuring beautifully turned brass finials and robust iron supports. These decorative fire dogs combine traditional craftsmanship with an elegant sculptural silhouette, making them both functional and aesthetically appealing.

The bold, rounded forms of the brass tops create a rich visual contrast with the angular iron bases. Crafted in France circa 1950, these andirons showcase a timeless design with warm golden tones and surface patina that enhance their vintage character. The materials used—solid brass and iron—reflect durability and artisanal quality, ideal for collectors of antique fireplace accessories or interior designers seeking a classic accent.

Dimensions: Height 22.5 cm (8.85 in), Length 36.5 cm (14.37 in), Depth 8 cm (3.15 in).

Condition: The set shows signs of wear consistent with age, including visible oxidation on the iron, surface rust, and general wear to the brass. One of the andirons has been re-glued at the joint, and a slight deformation is visible at the base of one of the finials. These imperfections contribute to their authentic aged look.

Rare to find in this sculptural form, these andirons offer both functional use and decorative charm for any traditional or rustic fireplace setting.
