Andiron (feu or chenet) (one of a pair)

François Rémond French

Not on view

The kissing doves on clouds bursting with quivers, torches and a wreath of roses give these firedogs a distinct love theme. In 1780, the bronze worker François Rémond supplied a pair of firedogs of this model to the Comte d’Artois. It was used in one of the private rooms at the Chàteau de Bagatelle, the pleasure pavilion built for Comte d’Artois in the Bois de Boulogne, Paris. The original provenance of this particular pair is unknown.
