About the Item

These beautiful and important Art Deco Machine Age andirons were realized by the legendary Donald Deskey- the luminary designer behind Radio City Music Hall- in the United States circa 1935. They feature skyscraper style bases featuring an octagonal form polished chrome nut capped with two black enamel circular embellishments of diminishing diameter. The body of the andirons are octagonal faceted cylinders- also in polished chrome crowned with a circular black enamel disc upon which rests a translucent glass orb. The clear glass spheres at the apex of each of andiron are pierced with chrome rods and secured with a faceted chrome finial. The andirons are supported by right angled black iron arms, that extend back from the upright bodies, with streamlined crest form embellishments following the direction of the supports. With their iconically Machine Age motifs and materials (created by one of the era's most important designers), these andirons are sure to appeal to discerning collectors of the period as well as those with a penchant for all things exquisite. With their monochromatic palate and clean modernist lines, they would be a winning addition to any style of interior from classic Art Deco to contemporary. They are in excellent vintage condition.
