This pair of andirons, designed by Jacques Adnet in France during the 1930s, exemplifies the transition from traditional Art Deco to early French Modernism. The structure features a heavy-gauge wrought iron base with a dark, matte finish, supporting a precise geometric arrangement of polished bronze spheres. The design prioritizes pure volumetric forms, focusing entirely on the interaction between the spherical bronze components and the right-angled iron shanks. Engineered for functional stability within a fireplace setting, the construction reflects Adnet's architectural approach to utilitarian metalwork.
