Andirons: The Evolving Sculptural Splendor of Fireplace Accessories Throughout history, they have graced hearths as functional and decorative elements, reflecting the artistic trends of their respective eras. From the pair of firedogs representing Venus and Mars, symbolizing love and war, to the Vulcan andirons from France, embodying the Roman god of fire, these antique andirons showcase intricate designs and craftsmanship. The 1938 andirons by Ray Price present a modernist twist, while the cast iron andirons from the late 19th century exhibit the industrial revolution's influence. The Barnard, Bishop & Barnard andirons, also from the same period, boast impressive details, showcasing the elegance of the Victorian era. Chippendale's bright-cut decorated andirons, possibly from Philadelphia, add a touch of sophistication, while the Birket Foster kitchen andirons from Hambledon, 1863, reveal the simplicity and charm of the past. The cast brass andirons from the late 18th or early 19th century, featuring a male and female herm, symbolize unity and balance. These andirons, each with their unique stories and origins, remind us of the enduring allure of fire and the artistry that surrounds it.
