About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
14x18 cm / 4 kg This pair of antique Orientalist-style andirons features Assyrian figures dating from the 18th century. These decorative objects are distinguished by their detailed depiction of female sphinxes, reflecting the era's fascination with exotic and historical motifs. Made of cast iron, these andirons have a dark, textured finish that highlights the facial features, elaborate headdresses, and majestic posture of the figures. The robust construction and weight of the material attest to the traditional manufacturing techniques of the period. The dominant black color complements the metal's natural patina. The overall condition is good, preserving the pieces' character and structural integrity. The original patina and signs of age add to their authenticity and historical charm. These andirons fit perfectly into a classic or eclectic interior, adding a touch of history and mystery. They can be used in a period fireplace or displayed as sculptural objects in a living room or library.
