Pair of gilded bronze fire dogs Louis XV, musician putti

Important pair of decorative chenets in gilded bronze in the Louis XV style, from the Napoleonic III era. Two young musician figures seated amidst a rich decor of rockwork, leafy scrolls, and openwork ornaments. The two compositions, arranged as a pair, stand out for the delicacy of their details: sculpted faces and hair, drapery, musical instruments, beaded friezes, and foliage motifs. Very dynamic silhouette and gilded finish: a beautiful set for a fireplace or a characterful interior. • Composition: 2 elements forming a pair. • Material: gilded bronze. • Style: rocaille, Louis XV – Era: Napoleonic III • Dimensions: L 35 cm × H 36 cm × D 21 cm. • Weight: approximately 13 kg for the pair. • Use: decorative chenets; presence and condition of the rear fixing irons to be checked. • Condition: signs of use, scratches, pitting, and visible surface irregularities.
