About the Item

A refined pair of antique Louis XVI style chenets (andirons), crafted in fire-gilded bronze and distinguished by their elegant neoclassical design. Each features a fluted urn surmounted by a finely detailed finial, accented with draped garlands and classical motifs characteristic of the Louis XVI period. The double iron supports provide both structural function and historical authenticity, designed to cradle logs while allowing airflow within the hearth. The warm, rich gilding has developed a nuanced patina over time, enhancing the depth and detail of the casting.
