Antique French Fireback / Backsplash with the Goddess Venus, 18th Century
About the Item
18th century French Louis XV fireback of Venus with her mirror and torch of Hestia.
Goddess of love, beauty and fertility. The torch is the symbol of Hestia, goddess of fire and more specifically the domestic hearth. Where no fire is found, a cozy, regulated society is impossible. Hestia initiates and promotes this. She is the goddess "who gives steadiness" and protects the family.
The fireback is made of cast iron and has a natural brown patina. Upon request it can be made black / pewter. The fireback has a small crack at the center bottom. It is still fit to be used in an open fireplace or as backsplash.
