Fine Pair 18th Century Louis XVI Dore Bronze, Polished Steel Fireplace Tools
About the Item
A very fine pair of French 18th century Louis XVI period Dore bronze and handwrought polished steel fireplace tools.
The circular handle of each piece is hand chiselled to superb detail of the kind usually reserved for fine French candelabra, undoubtedly commissioned by a connoisseur of exacting standards. The gilding is in excellent condition, further affrming the quality and workmanship. Handwrought steel elements are equally impressive- the color is an elegant silvery grey which gleams beautifully in the firelight and offers an attractive contrast to the rich gold of the handles. The sound of the steel ringing is akin to fine crystal.
A superb set worthy of a palace.
