Dimensions

Depth: 25'' ¼ 64cm
Charming pair of cast iron andirons featuring a stylized peasant couple, typical of 19th-century French folk art. Each andiron is topped with a naively sculpted bust: one shows a man wearing a beret, named “YANOU”, the other a woman in a traditional headscarf, named “YANETTO”. Their names are inscribed in raised letters within a heart placed at the center of the scrollwork base. The rustic style and expressive faces suggest regional craftsmanship, likely from Southern France or the Alpine regions. These functional fireplace tools also carry a strong symbolic meaning, celebrating the couple and the home. Aged patina, signs of use.
