Impressive pair of gilt bronze andirons from the Louis XVI period. Pair of large gilt-bronze andirons adorned with two baluster vases with two handles surrounding a grenade motif on a balustrade.
Height: 45 cm - Width: 45 cm - Depth: 75 cm
The grenade motif, or the “bursting bomb,” was used by the merchant-founder Pitoin (1757-1806), notably on fires for the crown in the 1770s.
The gilding is original and possesses a superb patina aged by time. With its irons also original. A magnificent pair of andirons, majestic, ideal for an 18th-century château."} } }}}}}} } }}}} } }}}} }}}} } }}}} }} }} (Note: The trailing characters are accidental and should be ignored.) {
