Description from the seller

Pair of brass and cast-iron andirons - Balustrade Style - 19th century

Elegant pair of 19th-century andirons (or landiers), featuring a classic "turned" or baluster design. These pieces perfectly combine the decorative aesthetics of brass with the sturdiness of cast iron.
• Front part (Decorative): Stunning solid turned brass elements, displaying an authentic original patina. The double swelling design is typical of bourgeois interiors of the Second Empire.
• Rear part (Hearth frame): Cast-iron grate bars, sturdy and sound, designed to support heavy logs and withstand high temperatures. Open triangular profile for better heat diffusion.
• Good overall condition
• Brass with an elegant patina, maintained with a soft cloth and antique wax
• Cast iron maintained with special cast-iron renovation paste
• No cracks or major flaws to report.

These fire dogs will bring a touch of historic elegance to your hearth, whether used for real wood fires or as a decorative fireplace accent.
