Fireback with the coat of arms of Germain du Val

About the Item

Beautiful fireback from the 16th century with fretwork contours. Under the central arch adorned with a leonine mask, two figures disguised as Mars and Venus are entwined. They are part of an architectural construction composed of a facade rhythmed with canephoric terms and crowned with a triangular pediment. The plaque bears the coat of arms of Germain Du Val, notary and secretary to the king from 1508 to 1533, Sieur du Mesnil en Vendômois, of Fontenay-en-Parisis, Bonneuil-les-Eaux, Lawarde-Mauger and La Hérelle. He was church warden of the church of Saint-Eustache in Paris. He died before 1641.
