Pair of Cast Iron Owl Andirons with Glass Eyes, American circa 1900
About the Item
A charming pair of cast iron owl andirons from the United States, dating to the early 20th century, circa 1900. These whimsical fireplace accessories are cast in bold relief, depicting owls perched on stylized branches with their wings pressed tightly against their sides. Their bright yellow glass eyes add a lifelike presence and visual intrigue, especially when positioned near a flickering hearth. Measuring approximately 15.5 inches high, 9.5 inches wide, and 6 inches deep, they are smaller than many standard andirons, making them ideal for more compact fireplaces or for decorative use off the hearth.
The cast iron bodies retain a dark patina with minimal surface wear, showcasing fine detail in the feathering and form. Their rare, modest scale opens up possibilities beyond traditional fireplace settings—consider them as whimsical bookshelf ends, or flanking a doorway or console in a rustic or lodge-inspired interior. Their sculptural presence, functional heritage, and distinctive owl motif make them a collectible and versatile addition to any space.
