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.
A square, stepped base on each supports a central column, each face of which is decorated with a strip of iron worked with chiselled, horizontal lines. The effect is an irregular geometric motif popular among particular French ironwork designers, who drew in part for these abstract patterns from the African art which was a well-established influence in the cultural world of Paris by this time.
A square platform tops each pedestal, perfect for the display of decorative objects to match the arresting presence of the wrought iron.
