$2,800

About

Bring refined neoclassical charm to a hearth with this antique pair of French Louis XVI–style chenets, crafted in France circa 1880 and finished in warm bronze doré. Each gilt andiron is topped with a finely modeled seated putto, rendered with soft features and graceful posture, giving the pair a playful yet elegant presence. The fronts are designed as draped swags tied with a central tassel, flanked by acorn finials and supported on fluted tapered legs, classic Louis XVI motifs that speak to the quality of late-19th-century French metalwork. The original iron billets remain attached at the back, allowing the pair to function traditionally or serve as decorative fireplace accents. Light patination and minor wear enhance the authentic antique character. Dimensions: 14″ W x 18″ D x 14″H each.
