Andiron - Gilt bronze - Louis XV

PAIR OF LOUIS XV STYLE CHENETS – 19th CENTURY

A beautiful pair of andirons (or landiers) in chased and gilt bronze (or heavy-gauge brass) in Rocaille style.
The design, richly animated, features a base adorned with floral rosettes and large stylized acanthus leaves in relief. The upper part is crowned by a baluster-turned shaft ending with a twisted spool-shaped finial.
The whole rests on its original forged-iron feet with curled ends, allowing the logs to be held.

• Style: Louis XV
• Materials: Bronze/Brass and iron.
• Condition: Good overall. Age-related patina with traces of natural verdigris in the hollows (highlighting the chasing). Feet sound and solid.
