AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
These small fire tools from the first half of the 19th century, measuring 50 centimeters in length, are pieces with a strong visual presence and decorative value. They are crafted in gilded bronze and wrought iron, materials that combine durability with elegance, highly valued in the making of fireplace accessories for distinguished residences.
The design shows a clear influence of the Louis XVI style, recognizable by its symmetry, straight lines, and ornaments inspired by classical antiquity. The turned upper finishes in gold-toned bronze evoke columns or urns, while the bases in wrought iron feature volutes and geometric details that reinforce the neoclassical aesthetic.
In addition to their practical function as supports for firewood, these fire dogs also played a decorative role in salons and libraries, reflecting the refined taste of the era. Their unusual size suggests they were designed for a large fireplace, probably in a noble house or palace. They are a testament to the applied art in domestic furniture in the 19th century.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
