Pair of Gilded Bronze Andirons, Napoleon III Period

Pair of napoleon III period andirons from the 19th century made in bronze with a chiseled golden brown patina. The openwork bases decorated with foliage, they support two bacchus arabesque children on scrolled terraces. The theme treated in this pair of andirons, of great finesse of execution, testifies to the fertile imagination of the bronze workers who frequently placed children or loves on the objects of furniture, clocks, candelabras, candlesticks or andirons, thus giving a feeling of lightness and softness to their works. *** dimensions: height: 40 cm - width: 35 cm. *** perfect condition.
