Pair of Art Deco Andirons in Patinated Black Enamel w/ Mirrored Seahorses

About the Item

This beautiful pair of sculptural Art Deco andirons were realized in France circa 1930. They feature a dramatic and graphic silhouette of seahorses, rendered with amazing fidelity in patinated black enamel. The creatures appear at once highly realistic and mythological- like floating dragons- with their wings, curled tails, serrated outlines, and elongated snouts. The pair of seahorses face one another in mirrored symmetry. The andirons are complete with volumetric black iron supports that brace the seahorse bodies. With their monochromatic palates, and clean modernist lines, these andirons would be a winning addition to any style of interior from classic Art Deco to contemporary. They are in excellent vintage condition. Dimensions: Height: 12.5" x Width: 9.5" x Depth: 16".

Modernist Fire Screen Set in Nickel, Glass and Black Enamel by WMH Jackson
Located in New York, NY
This refined and handsome four piece fire screen set was realized by the New York based maker WM H. Jackson- renowned for creating first-rate design products since 1827. This set- created in the manner of Donald Deskey- features two octagonal polished nickel andirons with dual striations running down each edge. The andiron bodies are circumscribed at top and bottom with two concentric skyscraper style black enamel bands. Above the upper black enamel band there is a translucent glass orb- a design nod to Machine Age in America a la Donald Deskey- with a ribbed finial holding it in place. The andirons sit on octagonal polished nickel bases and have rectangular black iron supports extending outwards where they are adjoined at a right angle by a vertical arm that ascends to the floor. With its clean modernist lines and superlative construction, this set- featuring two andirons, a grate and a screen- would be a winning addition to any style of interior from classic Deco to contemporary. The screen bears the original label reading "WM H Jackson...
