2 old Joan of Arc cast iron andirons

Bring a touch of history and elegance to your fireplace with this rare pair of vintage cast iron andirons depicting Joan of Arc. The "Maid" was a young French peasant girl born in 1412. Guided by divine visions, she played a decisive role during the Hundred Years' War, contributing to French victories. Captured by the English, she was condemned for heresy and executed in Rouen in 1431, becoming an emblematic, even mythical, figure in French history. Placed under the logs being burned, these accessories allow air to circulate under the wood and fan the flames. Good overall condition with some normal signs of wear.
