A decorative pair of late 19th-century French gilt brass andirons, or chenets, designed in the elaborate Louis XV Rococo style. Each features an openwork arrangement of sweeping rocaille scrolls, acanthus leaves and shell-like ornament, rising to a shaped cartouche and flame finial.
The two andirons form an opposing pair, with subtly mirrored decoration that creates a particularly striking display when placed together. Their aged gilt surface has developed a wonderfully varied finish, with areas of warm brass, darker patination and traces of verdigris highlighting the depth of the casting.
Their shorter backs make them ideal to display on a shelf or mantel, as well as a hearth.

The vintage glass storage jars are exactly as advertised. Excellent customer service! I placed two separate orders several days apart, but they were packed and shipped together. I was quickly reimbursed for overage shipping costs before even requesting a refund! Each jar was very well packed to minimize chance of breakage in transit, and they all arrived undamaged. I will shop here again!
Fantastic! Beautiful! I have been hunting for some Alfred Corneau urns for many years, as most sellers won't send them internationally, as well as at such a reasonable exchange rate. Very happy! : )
