Pair of Large Victorian Fireplace Fire Dogs with Brass Finials

Impressive pair of very large and heavy fireplace fire dogs, also known as andirons. These were traditionally placed inside an open fireplace to support logs and improve airflow beneath the fire. �

Beautiful decorative design with substantial hammered metal fronts, large spherical sections, ornate scroll feet and tall brass finials. They have a wonderful naturally aged surface and patina, giving them a strong authentic period appearance.
Believed to date from the late Victorian or early Edwardian period. They are exceptionally striking statement pieces and would look superb in a large period fireplace, country house, traditional interior, hotel or restaurant.
Sold as the matching pair.
Very heavy and substantial.
Good authentic condition for their age, with expected tarnishing, oxidation and surface wear.
