    An exceptional pair of double-patina bronze firedogs depicting a lion and a lioness, based on the model created by Louis-Simon Boizot and Pierre-Philippe Thomire for the Queen's Games Room at Versailles in 1786.
    These firedogs date from the Louis XVI period, circa 1790, and are adorned with garlands of flowers and drapery, as well as decorative motifs on the legs. The pine cones on each piece add an extra touch of elegance to these superior-quality firedogs.
    The neoclassical design of these firedogs is a testament to the excellence of 18th-century decorative art. The elaborate details and artistry of these firedogs make them exceptional pieces of decorative art.
    The gilding and bronze parts of the firedogs are original and in very good condition, requiring only cleaning to restore their original shine. These andirons are a pair of exceptional quality, sure to delight lovers of 18th-century decorative art.
    Feel free to add them to your collection or interior to add a touch of classic elegance.
    Please note: One andiron is missing a gilt bronze foot.
    This exceptional work can be attributed to Pierre Philippe Thomire.
    Complete with their irons.
