Antique pair of French Provincial hand-forged iron andirons, likely made between 1780–1830 in France or in America soon after the Revolution. The scroll work and forging discipline indicates the blacksmith was probably trained in the European tradition, possibly an immigrant to America. Patina has an even oxidation pattern that can't be replicated apart from a long passage of time. From an estate in Charlottesville, Virginia, this bespoke pair is impressive in scale, weight, and historical significance. No maker's mark.

Please see condition details noted. Due to weight and for added protection, these will be delivered via in-home shipping rather than by mail carrier.
