About the Item

The Melisandre andirons by Jacques Jarrige are sculptural works that transcend their functional role, bringing a sense of presence, movement, and sensuality to the hearth. Cast in polished bronze and signed by the artist, these anthropomorphic forms reflect Jarrige’s ongoing exploration of the human figure abstracted through line, volume, and gesture. With undulating contours and asymmetrical silhouettes, each andiron seems to shift subtly in stance—at once rooted and in motion. Their organic, elongated shapes echo the sculptural vocabulary seen in Jarrige’s Adam and Eve lamp series, suggesting a quiet dialogue between the two forms, whether standing alone or as a pair. The polished bronze surface radiates warmth and reflects ambient light with a glowing, mirror-like finish. This highly refined patina enhances the fluidity of the form and draws attention to the artist’s hand—the gestures embedded in the modeling of the original piece. As with much of Jarrige’s work, the andirons celebrate contrasts: solid yet ethereal, practical yet poetic. Both decorative and functional, Melisandre elevates the fireplace into a stage for sculpture—where firelight animates the curves, and the object becomes a living part of the room’s architecture. Signed by the artist. Custom patinas available upon request.
