EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning pair of andirons, also known as chenets, crafted in 1752 by the talented Jacques Caffieri. Made from gilt bronze, these ornamental pieces are a true testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of the era. Standing at an impressive height of 44.20 cm with a width of 54.60 cm and depth of 14.00 cm, they command attention with their intricate details. The andirons feature gilded dog heads on top, adding a touch of elegance to any fireplace they adorn. The meticulous design includes wild boar motifs that exude strength and power. These firedogs were not only functional but also served as decorative elements in grand French homes during the eighteenth century. Displayed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, this remarkable pair was bequeathed by John L. Severance for all art enthusiasts to appreciate its historical significance today. The photograph captures every aspect beautifully - from the elaborate ornamentation to the fine gilding work. Accompanied by a walking stick or cane nearby, this image transports us back to an era where opulence and refinement were highly valued in interior decor. It serves as a reminder that even everyday objects like furniture can be transformed into works of art through skilled craftsmanship. Bridgeman Images has skillfully captured this extraordinary piece for Fine Art Finder, allowing viewers worldwide to admire its beauty and marvel at its timeless appeal.
