For Sale by Elmgarden
Description

A Pair of Large French Baroque Brass Andirons or Chenets

This is a Large pair of French Brass Andirons, the ultimate in Chateau Chic

They are very decorative and made in two tone brass, the original log grate is not present and a new one would be required if you need to burn a fire but this is not required to enjoy the Chenets which are connected with a full length twisted brass pole

The Chenets are clean but we have not had them burnished in order to keep the original patina intact

The Chenets each 18” high, 17” deep and the overall width is adjustable on the barapproximately 40” wide.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Chenets, also known as firedogs or andirons, were designed to support burning logs above the hearth floor to improve airflow and combustion efficiency. During the French Baroque era, these functional items evolved into decorative hearth pieces featuring intricate metalwork and architectural motifs.

Baroque andirons were predominantly constructed from wrought or cast iron for the functional rear billets and cast or turned brass, bronze, or copper for the front decorative elements. The joinery often involved threaded iron rods, sand-cast components, and hand-chased surface details.

Authentic pieces often exhibit signs of historical heat exposure, such as oxidisation or warping on the iron billets, along with hand-turned threads and irregular casting marks. Inspection of the reverse side typically reveals unpolished surfaces and hand-hammered iron joints.

These pieces function as structural focal points within an open fireplace hearth or an inactive decorative fireplace recess. They can also be paired with modern stone or minimal brick surrounds to create a juxtaposition of historic detail and clean architectural lines.

Light dusting and non-abrasive cleaning with a soft microfibre cloth are recommended to preserve the natural patina. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners that strip historic surface oxidisation, and ensure iron components remain dry to prevent corrosion.
