About the Item

Large 18th century French Louis XV period fireback with two pillars of Hercules that are topped with Fleurs de Lys. The Fleurs de Lys (French Lillies) symbolize the purity of nobility.

The pillar refers to the club of Hercules, his favorite weapon. It symbolizes strength and the unknown. The date of production, 1782, is also cast in the fireback. The fireback is made of cast iron and has a natural brown patina. Upon request, it can be made black / pewter. The condition is good, without cracks. This product weighs more than 65 kg / 143 lbs.
