AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Set of two early firedogs (andirons) made of wrought iron in perfect condition

A pair of large hand-forged fireplace irons or firedogs. The wrought iron firedogs have recently been seasoned with linseed oil. This gives a beautiful appearance and also protection against rust for indoor use. The age is estimated to be from the 17th century, from France.

The basins at the top of the firedogs are intended for keeping warm, for example a bowl of soup. A beautifully rare object. See photos.

Height: 88 cm, width: 30 cm, and depth: 65 cm. The weight is approximately 16 kg for the two firedogs.
