About the Item
This pair of andirons, designed by the iconic modernist Donald Deskey for Bennett, exemplifies mid-century American design at its most refined. Produced in the 1950s, these andirons showcase Deskey's signature blend of geometric precision and luxurious materials, reflecting his influential role in defining American Art Deco and mid-century modern aesthetics.
Each andiron is crafted from a combination of textured bronze and polished brass, creating a dynamic interplay of materials and finishes. The textured bronze panels exhibit a rugged, organic surface that contrasts beautifully with the sleek, reflective brass accents, lending the pieces a striking visual depth. The design is characterized by clean, angular lines and bold geometric forms, showcasing Deskey's modernist sensibilities and his mastery of minimalist yet impactful design.
The andirons rest on sturdy iron log supports, ensuring both functionality and stability. Their sculptural form and luxurious materials make them not only practical fireplace accessories but also sophisticated works of art, suitable for enhancing contemporary or modernist interiors.
Donald Deskey, celebrated for his innovative use of industrial materials and his work on iconic spaces such as Radio City Music Hall, was a pioneer of modern American design. His collaboration with Bennett, a leading manufacturer of high-end fireplace accessories, resulted in a series of iconic andirons and furnishings that are now highly sought after by collectors and design enthusiasts.

Pair, Antique Spanish Colonial Style Iron Prickets
Located in Atlanta, GA
This pair of Spanish Colonial-style iron prickets, dating from the early 20th century or possibly 19th century, is a striking example of hand-forged craftsmanship from a bygone era. Crafted in the tradition of Spanish Colonial metalwork, these prickets feature a central stem adorned with four meticulously hand-forged roundels, which ascend in a graceful, rhythmic pattern. The prickets rest upon three elegantly splayed feet, further exemplifying the organic yet functional design characteristic of Spanish Colonial aesthetics.
The distressed, rusted surface of each pricket tells the story of centuries of use and exposure, enhancing their historical and visual appeal. The patina, developed over time, lends these prickets a timeless quality that underscores their authenticity and age, evoking the rustic charm and enduring beauty of early Colonial furniture...
