Andiron (one of pair) c. 1937

This line drawing by Hans Korsch, created around 1937, depicts an andiron, a decorative metal support for logs in a fireplace. The andiron's design features a tall, slender shaft adorned with intricate details, culminating in a decorative finial. The base is characterized by a pair of stylized animal feet, lending a sense of grounded stability to the design. This drawing, likely intended as a design study for the andiron, showcases Korsch's attention to detail and skill in rendering three-dimensional form with precision. The andiron, a staple of traditional fireplaces, represents a blend of form and function, highlighting the artistry found in everyday objects.
