A sculptural set of fireplace tools presented as a zoomorphic ram figure, crafted from hand-forged metal. This piece is strongly reminiscent of the sculptural and functional aesthetic popularized by designers like Claude Lalanne, where utilitarian objects adopt natural forms. The structure is entirely handmade from dark forged metal, which displays a deep, original patina resulting from its age and use. The ram's body is robust, with curved horns and a stylized silhouette that conveys a rustic yet sophisticated character.
The set integrates the fireplace tools, which are forged from hand-forged iron. These elements hang from hooks incorporated into the ram's body, becoming part of the overall composition. The entire sculpture rests on a solid rectangular wooden base, which provides stability and a warm material contrast to the coldness of the metal. This is a functional piece that also serves as a distinct sculptural object, suitable for complementing a fireplace with a focus on brutalist or 20th-century design.
