Sourced in Southwest France, this splendid pair of fire dogs / andirons feature decorative embellished flowers to the tops and fleurs de lys around the circular central ball.
The pair could be used traditionally as firedogs or log supports in an open fireplace or purely enjoyed as decorative ornaments.
To the base there are classical masks (marmouset) with further floral decoration. These characteristic grotesque masks, inspired by the figures found in Gothic and Renaissance architecture, add considerable character to the pair.
Circa: Early 19th Century
