This exceptionally fine and rare pair of original 17th century wrought iron andirons originates from a historic European hunting lodge and represents the very essence of early aristocratic fireplace accessories.
Hand-forged in solid wrought iron, these andirons display a powerful yet elegant sculptural presence, defined by their arched fire dogs and distinctive deer hoof feet, a symbolic detail traditionally associated with hunting culture, nobility, and mountain estates. The vertical baluster shafts rise gracefully from the forged bases, culminating in finely shaped knop finials that reflect the craftsmanship of the Louis XIII period.
When placed in a working fireplace, the dark patinated steel subtly captures and reflects the movement of the firelight, creating a warm, living glow that enhances winter evenings and evokes the timeless atmosphere of a hunting lodge, alpine chalet, or historic manor. The play of light on the hand-hammered surfaces gives depth, texture, and authenticity impossible to replicate.
Despite their historic origin, these andirons combine effortlessly with modern architecture, contemporary art, and minimalist interiors, offering a striking contrast that elevates both classic and contemporary spaces. They are ideal for bespoke chalet interiors, refined mountain lodges, or sophisticated urban homes seeking warmth, character, and history.
A museum-quality pair of antique fireplace accessories, both decorative and functional, and a rare opportunity to acquire an authentic 17th century statement piece.
