About the Item

This 19th century iron fireplace back channels a Classic romantic motif featuring putti with scrolling filigree in asymmetrical decoration. One putti carries a staff with two serpents intertwined. This depiction of the caduceus is a reference to the staff carried by Hermes in Greek mythology.
