Vintage Mid-Century Cast Iron & Brass Andirons by Donald Deskey for Bennett

Pair of handsome blade andirons, designed by Donald Deskey for Bennett, circa late 1950s to early 1960s. These examples are unmarked but are accurately documented and attributed elsewhere. 

- 19.5” H x 9.75” W x 8” D -

Heavy cast iron bases & patinated brass blades give these a hefty impression and provide style and functionality to your hearth. All original with the exception of one replaced screw on the back of a brass blade. Great vintage condition overall with no major imperfections, just wonderful patina!

Donald Deskey was a very notable industrial designer in the early-mid 20th century, creating ubiquitous designs ranging from product packaging to furniture/lighting & decor. It’s fascinating to read about him and how prolific he was; the more you look around, the more Deskey you see!
