This pair of French cast gilt bronze Louis XV style andirons are elaborately detailed and seem to tell a story. Each one features different figures and characters while both display elegant swags and acanthus scrolls. The gilt finish has lovely aged patina. The open backs and unreinforced integral castings are crucial in securely dating these pieces to the period and affirm their authenticity as mid-18th century originals. These will be double boxed and shipped separately.
