About the Item

Prominent silvered bronze sphinx stand guard at each end and are meticulously hand-cast with detailed facial features and traditional Egyptian-style headdresses aligning with the period's fascination with ancient Egyptian motifs. Horizontal brass bars are held up with ornate posts topped with decorative finials showcasing exceptional craftsmanship. Robust construction ensures durability and elaborate design will enhance any hearth area.
