About the Item
A striking and highly avant-garde pair of andirons designed by Melchiorre Bega in 1960. Crafted in a bold combination of aluminum and iron, these pieces stand out for their sculptural design, where a circular aluminum element subtly detaches from the iron structure, creating a refined contrast—almost reminiscent of the head of a small dog.
Bega’s visionary approach is evident in these andirons, which were highly innovative for their time. The juxtaposition of industrial materials with a fluid, almost playful form makes them not only functional but also a statement piece for the modern fireplace. Their exclusive design and rarity position them as exceptional collector’s items.
Condition: Excellent vintage condition with a beautiful patina.
A unique find for connoisseurs of mid-century Italian design and those seeking an elegant yet unconventional addition to their interior.
