Antique French Fireback / Backsplash with the Goddess Venus, Louis XV Period

About the Item

18th century French Louis XV Period 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 black / pewter patina. The condition is good and has no cracks.
