About the Item

This French Napoleon III bronze fireplace fender from the mid nineteenth century features a large urn with a flame at the top and hanging garlands mounted on a plinth at each end of the fender. In front of each urn is a fluted column base with laurel detailing. A scrolling flourish with flowers rests atop each column and cascades toward the center. The fender has an adjustable length of 27.5 to 45 inches and each end slides on its central barrier with gallery. Originally used to keep burning logs from rolling out of the fireplace, this piece also makes an impressive statement on top of a buffet. c. 1860.
