Description

Stylish and accesible, as Dresser intended.

I haven't seen this model before, perhaps it's quite rare. Christopher Dresser produced a series of designs for the Carron Foundry in the late 1870s, each given a number. This pair of andirons is stamped No.1, but not marked Carron, so I've included images of a related example, No.2, (not included in the sale) which is.

The crescent flowerhead appears on both examples in slightly different ways. The pierced crescent is also used (the other way around) in a stick stand produced by the Falkirk Foundry around the same period, Lorfords Antiques currently hold an example in their stock.

Well presented condition.

Happy to post, please let me know if you have any questions.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.
