About the Item

Antique Bronze Fireplace Set with Lions – 19th Century This impressive set of bronze fire irons is a true masterpiece from the 19th century. The design is dominated by beautifully shaped lions, symbols of strength and nobility. Every detail has been carefully crafted, from the graceful tails to the curling manes of the lions, which majestically watch over the fireplace. The set has a rich shine that emphasizes the warm appearance of the bronze, with a unique combination of refinement and robustness. The elegantly engraved legs and decorative elements add an extra touch of luxury, while the fleur-de-lis-shaped ornaments at the top complete the artistic flair of the whole. Majestic Bronze Lions – A Symbol of Power and Nobility These exceptional bronze andirons are adorned with breathtakingly detailed lions, embodying strength, courage, and regal grandeur. The dynamism and expression of these magnificent beasts are truly remarkable: their muscular bodies are sculpted with precision, their claws raised in a proud and protective stance, while their wild manes are intricately carved with exquisite artistry. The bronze, with its rich luster and subtle patina, highlights every detail – from the fierce intensity in their eyes to the elegant curls of their tails. The heraldic composition, featuring a shield and ornate scrollwork, adds an aristocratic touch that perfectly complements a classic or luxurious interior. These lions are not just functional fireplace accessories but true works of art, exuding a commanding presence in any space. They capture the grandeur of 19th-century craftsmanship and serve as a stunning centerpiece, bringing the magnificence of a bygone era to life. Condition: Excellently preserved with a light patina, which emphasizes the authenticity and charm of the set. The weight for each andiron is 12 kg (27 lbs).
