Edgar Brandt - A Pair of French Art Deco Wrought-Iron Pedestals circa 1920
A pair of starkly dramatic 1920s French Modernist pedestals in hand-wrought iron by Edgar Brandt.
Each pedestal has a square, stepped base supporting a central column, with each face decorated with a strip of iron worked with chiselled, horizontal lines. The effect is an irregular geometric motif popular among certain French ironwork designers, who drew inspiration from African art, which had become a well-established influence in Parisian culture by this time.
A square platform tops each pedestal, perfect for displaying decorative objects that complement the arresting presence of the wrought iron.
Dimensions:
Height: 49.22 in (125 cm)
Width: 9.45 in (24 cm)
Depth: 9.45 in (24 cm)
