AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful antique pair of fireplace andirons (chenets), probably of French origin, manufactured in the 20th century.

The andirons are made of brass/cast iron and richly decorated with classical ornaments, including a vase-shaped base and graceful curved legs. The style shows clear Louis XVI / Empire influences, characteristic of the elegant salon interiors from that period.
