Pair of French Antique Brass Fire Dogs
A good quality pair of French antique brass fire dogs, dating from around 1910. Each example has a decorative brass front with a sturdy cast-iron rear bar, made in the traditional manner.
Originally used in open fireplaces to support logs and prevent them from rolling forward, these fire dogs / andirons are both practical and decorative. They are well proportioned and suitable for use or display.
Each piece features elaborately cast brass columns with acanthus leaf motifs, geometric ornamentation and classic scrollwork. Behind each brass front sits a sturdy cast-iron rear support bar.
The pair has been professionally cleaned and lightly polished to enhance the original surface quality. They remain in very good condition, showing expected minor signs of age and use.
Height: 31 cm / 12.2 in
Width: 18 cm / 7.1 in
Depth: 37 cm / 14.6 in
Rear iron bar length: 30 cm / 11.8 in
