AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pair of Louis XVI–style fireplace andirons, with a forged-iron frame and decorative gilded-bronze finials. Each piece features a large bronze top orb, with a bright finish and a perfectly spherical shape, providing visual balance and a ceremonial air typical of neoclassical taste.
The base is formed by curved wrought-iron legs, with volutes and sturdy lines that reflect the object's original functionality. Blacksmith marks are visible on the structure, testimony to its artisanal manufacture and its prolonged use in historical domestic settings. These traces add authenticity and character, reinforcing its value as a collectible piece.
The morillos not only serve their function as supports for firewood, but also stand out as striking decorative elements with a strong presence, ideal for fireplaces in stately homes, historic spaces, or interiors with a classical sensibility.
Origin: France or Spain.
Materials: wrought iron, gilded bronze
Condition: excellent preservation with a noble patina and original workshop marks
Use: functional, decorative, collectible.
