AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This magnificent pair of bronze fire pits is a masterpiece inspired by classical art, a tribute to the refinement and symbolism of ancient Pompeii. The structures are supported by three dancing fauns, sylvan deities associated with fertility and the natural world, depicted with extraordinary attention to detail and a graceful posture that evokes movement and lightness.
Slender legs, with bands featuring elegant vegetal motifs, seamlessly transform into stable bases, while the sculpted bodies with well-defined musculature highlight the mythological charm of these figures. The fauns gracefully support a large cup decorated with a pierced border, whose design recalls the refined ceremonial objects of the Roman era.
Inspired by the Pompeii artifacts, with clear references to classical art and Roman mythology, the mythological fauns represent fertility, celebration, and a connection with nature.
Originally used to hold burning embers, these fire pits are now perfect as luxurious decorative elements, capable of enhancing any environment with their ancient charm.
