Pair of French Wrought Iron Sculptural Forms, 1940s

$950.00

A pair of large French wrought iron sculptural forms from the 1940s. Forged from slender iron rods, each piece traces a continuous line that rises, curves, and loops back on itself—resolving into an abstract silhouette.

The composition is spare but deliberate, each bend and curl revealing the hand of the maker. They read almost like drawings in space—the iron reduced to its most essential gesture. The open framework allows negative space to shape the piece as much as the iron itself.

Placed on a console, shelf, or mantel, they shift the composition—linear against solid, open against dense. As a pair, the forms echo and slightly diverge, creating rhythm rather than symmetry.

DIMENSIONS: 32"W x 14.25"D x 27"H

ORIGIN: France

PERIOD: 1940s

MATERIALS: Iron

CONDITION: Great vintage condition. Light surface wear throughout, consistent with age and use, including minor oxidation and patina to the iron.
