About the Item

Pair of Early 19th Century Neoclassical Andirons with Interlocking Dolphin Motif A finely cast pair of early 19th century gilt-bronze and wrought iron andirons, each featuring an elegant neoclassical design surmounted by an acorn finial above boldly modeled interlocking dolphins, a symbol of strength and protection often favored in Regency and Empire decorative arts.
