Pair of Arts & Crafts Style Andirons in the Style of Ernest Gimson

About the Item

A striking pair of Arts and Crafts style andirons in the style of 19th century designer and architect, Ernest Gimson. These antique fire dogs once resided at Warter Priory, Pocklington (demolished 1972). We are also selling a carved limestone fireplace from the Priory under Stock No. 33322. Characterised by their pierced cast brass decoration, each impressive fire dog stands on arched iron feet cast with an armorial shield. Whether your fireplace is period or contemporary, these antique andirons are certain to make an impact in any space with their ornate brass details. We have other similar fire dogs and grates for sale. Please enquire for details. Ernest Gimson (1864-1919) Ernest Gimson had a passion for metalwork, from medieval door hinges to elaborate 17th-century fire dogs. Metalwork makes up a large proportion of pages in his sketchbooks. Gimson also designed complex pierced and chased work, based on 17th-century designs he admired. This pair are after the original 17th century pair at Haddon Hall, in Bakewell. A virtually identical pair resides at the Cheltenham Art Gallery & Museum. Additional Information Dimensions stated are for each fire dog. Weight is for the pair.
