Louis XIV 'Saint Andrew's Cross' Fireback / Backsplash, 18th Century French
About the Item
18th century French Louis XIV fireback with two pillars of Hercules and a Saint Andrew's cross. The pillar refers to the club of Hercules, his favourite weapon. It symbolizes power. Since antiquity the ‘Pillars of Hercules’ are also the name of the promontories at both sides of the Strait of Gibraltar. Hence they also symbolize the frontier between the known and unknown world (Nec Plus Ultra, "nothing further beyond"), and later they also became symbols for the opposite, i.e. taking risks and confronting the unknown (Plus Ultra, ‘further beyond’). In the Spanish royal crest they also stand for the overseas possessions.
The condition is good, no cracks.
