About the Item
A pair of mid-century modern andirons attributed to Donald Deskey (1894–1989), featuring a bold architectural form crafted in cast iron with elegant brass ball finials and brass-capped feet. The sleek tulip-like column flares upward to cradle a burnished orb, while the minimalist tripod base gives a nod to Art Deco elegance with a modernist twist.
These andirons embody Deskey’s signature blend of form and function, often seen in his work for the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Radio City Music Hall. The refined silhouette and mixed-metal design reflect the transition from Art Deco to mid-century styling.
