Pair of 19th Century Gilt Bronze Fire Dogs in the Ancient Egyptian Style

About the Item

The andirons from the French Regency period, crafted in gilt bronze, exhibit a striking blend of elegance and opulence in the Egyptian Revival style. Each andiron features a meticulously detailed sphinx, a symbol of mystery and power, resting regally atop the structure. The sphinxes, with their serene, enigmatic faces, are adorned with traditional Egyptian headdresses, and their muscular bodies are poised in a commanding yet graceful stance. The gilt bronze finish adds a luxurious sheen, giving the andirons a radiant, golden appearance that catches the light beautifully. The base of each andiron is equally impressive, designed with geometric precision. The combination of these elements creates a harmonious balance between the sturdy functionality of the andirons and their decorative splendor. Overall, these andirons are not just functional fireplace accessories but also exquisite pieces of art that reflect the grandeur and fascination with ancient Egypt that was prevalent during the French Regency period.
