This pair of brightly silvered bronze chenets are from France (circa 1900), in the style of Louis XVI, as noted by the presence of laurel leaf festoons and pots au feu finials.

In the center of the overdoor is a classical urn adorned with imbricated disks and gadrooning and topped with a pinecone finial.
