A great pair of well cast and chased French Louis XVI fire dogs with the typical neoclassic elements such as columns, urns and a feathered triumphal helmet each the side. These date from circa 1770. Excellent fire gilding. Very good size and condition, the gilding especially as it is not worn and every element has been finely chased. Originally these fire dogs would have had long iron rods emerging from the reverse side. These have been removed at some stage and now allow for easy placing on the side of all fireplaces.
