About the Item

Pair of French Art Deco fireplace chenets by Michel Zadounaïsky. Pair of French Art Deco patinated hand forged wrought iron andirons, signed Zadounaisky on both, circa 1940 (Michel Zadounaïsky was a noted metalsmith and contemporary of Edgar Brandt who worked in Lyon, France.) Michel Zadounaïsky (1903-1983) was Russian born and French raised. He attended the Beaux-Arts de Lyon when he was 16, however he quit after a year and apprenticed with chandelier makers to learn the trade of blacksmithing. It was during the 1920s, Zadounaïsky developed his style of curves and intricate lacework as well as his heavy interest in animals which can be seen in many of his works. He became an expressive voice of the French Art Deco scene due to his unique designs and superb craftsmanship, that the French elite commissioned him for works. Would look great flanking a mantle or repurposed as table lamps.
