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.
