AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Antique pair of bronze andirons / fire dogs – neoclassical style – ca. 1850-1900
Offered is a lovely and decorative pair of antique fire dogs (andirons/fire dogs), featuring a characteristic classical design.
The fire dogs have a nicely turned, baluster-shaped construction with multiple profiled rings and an elegant, pointed finial. The design is clearly inspired by the neoclassical/Louis XVI tradition and fits excellently in a classical fireplace, country house interior, or antique setting.
The pieces boast a beautiful, naturally developed patina with color variations and signs of use that suit their age. The combination of the decorative bronze upper part and the original cast-iron supports gives the pair an authentic and characterful appearance.
Such fire dogs originally served to support firewood above the hearth floor and to enable better airflow around the fire. Today they are also very sought-after decorative objects.
Dating: circa 1850–1900 Style: neoclassical / Louis XVI-inspired Material: bronze combined with cast iron
Quantity: 2 pieces
Dimensions: ca. 18 cm high × 34 cm long
Condition: good antique condition, with normal signs of aging and use, patina and slight discolorations.

Carefully packaged and insured shipping
