Pair of Andirons with Hammered Texture and Cannonball Crown

About the Item

Handsome pair of mid-20th Century hammered texture andirons. The andirons are in traditional form with the hourglass body balanced on elegantly curved legs. A round cannonball shape crowns the andirons. The wrought iron andirons have a decorative hammered texture. The finish is a rustic bronze color with highlights of a more polished copper tone. Embossed on the underside are a series of numbers with “1969 R” being more legible. Perhaps this is the production year.

Witco Tiki Mid Century Wood Carved Fireplace Tool Set with Brutalist Accent
By Witco, William Westenhaver / Witco
Located in Chattanooga, TN
No Luau is complete without a proper set of fire tools. This ultra rare Witco fireplace tool set comes complete with a poker, brush, and shovel. The three wrought-iron tools are original to the set. Both the poker and shovel feature period scroll work on top. Most distinctive are the Brutalist accents flanking the left and right sides. These torch-cut Brutalist panels have been restored to their original look. This piece came to us rusted. Our restoration team refinished the metal, and re-created the the verdigris patina originally present. Witco’s signature chainsaw tiki carving was used to embellish the rack’s top and base. Vintage 1960s-1970s, carved from solid swamp cedar wood. If you’re into Tiki, then you probably know Witco. Collector’s adore Witco for it’s wild design. The company went full-force in capturing the zeitgeist of exotica in the 1960s. Polynesian, Asian, and tropical culture and aesthetics began to make their way into American homes. Elvis movies and Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “South Pacific” introduced America to tiki, Mai Tais and Luas. It’s still tiki time in the hearts of Witco collectors. These larger than life cats are the perfect mascot for your island lounge. We have several more pieces from Witco including a pair of Meathead cats, toad stool, a dining set, conquistador chairs, wall mounted...
