Exquisite Pair of 19th Century Gilt Bronze Figural Andirons, Ancient Greek Women

Description

This listing is for the exquisite pair of 19th century gilt bronze figural andirons pictured above.
Depicting a pair of Grecian women, these andirons are of excellent quality. There is incredible detail in the drapery of the clothing and hair as well as extraordinary sculpting of the face, arms and hands.
Although the exact date and region of manufacture is unknown, they were likely produced in the 19th century in France or Italy. They are very large, measuring about 31 inches tall by 31 inches long by 13 inches wide (each). Each andiron also weighs roughly 40 pounds.
Condition: Generally good antique condition. One old repair to the left arm on one of the figures (pictured above). Some old screw holes in the back of each figure. A stress crack near where the screw attaches to the back of one figure. Some nicks and general wear to each.
Due to the size and weight of these andirons, the buyer is responsible for arranging their own shipping. Local pickup is also an option.
Feel free to ask any questions!
