A compelling pair of antique cast iron figural andirons featuring stylized standing human figures in a dynamic, forward-stepping pose. Each figure is modeled with simplified, expressive features and a looped headdress or cap form, giving the pair a strong sculptural and folk-art presence.
The figures are integrally cast and attached to elongated iron shafts designed to extend into the hearth, functioning originally as traditional fireplace andirons. The surface displays a deep, naturally developed patina with oxidation and wear consistent with age and use, enhancing their authenticity and visual appeal.
Whether displayed in front of a fireplace, mounted as sculptural objects, or incorporated into an eclectic interior, these andirons read as both functional antiques and decorative folk sculpture. Offered as a matching pair.
