Pair Of Wrought Iron Andirons - Stylized Dogs

Rare pair of wrought iron andirons, entirely hand-shaped and riveted, with a strong sculptural presence.
20th-century craftsmanship, made using a traditional riveted assembly technique, without any welding.
Two stylized dogs with slender, dynamic lines, reminiscent of a stylized mastiff. The modeling of the heads, the hammering of the metal, and the balanced proportions give the pieces a truly sculptural dimension.

The movable hind legs recall their original function while highlighting the quality of the craftsmanship.

Length: 36 cm
Maximum width: 10 cm
Excellent condition. Deep and even antique patina.

Authentic pieces of wrought iron art, both utilitarian and decorative, intended for a distinctive interior. I thought of them as andirons, but they could also simply be used as decorative objects.
