An exceptional and highly unusual pair of vintage mid-century modern sculptural fire dogs / andirons depicting stylized, anthropomorphic ducks. Crafted in France circa 1970, this set beautifully captures the whimsical, surrealist spirit popularized by Claude and François-Xavier Lalanne.Each piece features a polished golden-bronze brass duck head seamlessly resting atop highly stylized legs. The decorative front brass sculptures are supported by sturdy, heavy black cast iron log rails extending out the back. A perfect decorative accent for a Hollywood Regency, Maximalist, or Mid-Century fireplace hearth.
Excellent vintage condition with a beautiful natural patina and light, age-appropriate surface wear. Unsigned and without manufacturer markings, which is standard for this specific 1970s French edition.
