Pair of Late Victorian-Era Brass & Iron Andirons, Rococo Revival Style

Pair of cast brass andirons, mid to late 19th century, in the Renaissance Revival manner. Each has a pointed spire finial above a knop cast with flower heads, a turned and fluted columnar shaft, and a scrolled base cast in relief with foliage and a central rose, raised on paw feet. A small secondary finial serves as the log stop. The brass carries a mellow, even patina. Continental in style, likely French, offered without maker's mark.

Both andirons are structurally sound with all finials and log stops intact. The brass shows a rich, mellow patina with only minor surface scratches and light oxidation consistent with well over a century of gentle use. No repairs or losses noted.
