One of a Pair of Andirons c. 1900

This bronze andirons, designed by Charles Francis Annesley Voysey, is a testament to the Arts and Crafts Movement, with its emphasis on functional, handcrafted objects. Created around 1900, the andirons feature a simple, elegant design with a rounded top and a tripod base with curved legs. Voysey was known for his distinctive style, which combined elements of medieval and traditional craftsmanship with a modern sensibility. The andirons, a functional object intended for use in a fireplace, reflect Voysey’s commitment to creating beautiful and practical pieces for everyday living. They can be found at the Art Institute of Chicago.
