Elegant and stately pair of vintage solid brass andirons featuring double ball tops with finials and intricate lion paw feet. The bold spherical form and sculptural silhouette bring a touch of classic grandeur to any fireplace setting.
Each andiron is mounted on sturdy cast iron supports, designed to hold logs securely while adding timeless style. The brass has developed a warm, natural patina consistent with age and use, enhancing their authenticity and vintage charm.
A perfect addition for traditional, Art Deco, or even eclectic interiors — these andirons balance form and function beautifully.
• Design & Proportion: The double-ball andirons with exaggerated finials were very popular in Colonial Revival and Federal Revival styles that surged in the U.S. during the 1930s–1950s.
• Lion Paw Feet: This decorative flourish was commonly used by American foundries such as Virginia Metalcrafters (Waynesboro, VA), Liberty Foundry (St. Louis, MO), and Cromwell. These companies produced cast brass fireplace accessories in that exact style.
• Construction Details: The use of cast brass fronts with blackened wrought iron log supports is typical of American production. British or French examples from the same era tend to be heavier, fully brass, and more ornate or Rococo in design.
