About the Item

Pair of 19th Century Gilt Bronze Neoclassical Fire Chenets with Mask Detail, c.1860 A fine and weighty pair of 19th century French or English gilt bronze fire chenets or andirons, cast in the neoclassical taste. Each features pierced lattice backs, bold scrollwork supports, and finely modelled classical mask heads to the base.
