ANTIQUE Bronze Andirons Chenet Firedog Fish / Dragon / dolphin Torch flame 1800s

Description

This is for a lovely RARE and unique pair of andirons, also called firedogs / Chenets that are very heavy Solid brass / bronze (NOT cast iron) except for the legs. They have a wonderful patina and verdigris accents.  The "dolphins" fish creatures are the focal point with a torch on the top of the pole they are wrapped around.  The legs are very heavy thick cast iron.  The base where the "dolphin" sits is a lovely scrolled and swaged acanthus design.
These would be from England in the early 19th Century, most likely around 1830's.  They measure a stately 24 inches tall x 20 inches deep x 11 inches wide.  These are in the George IV style and are in very good condition and wear is better then one would think due to just the shear age of them!
They will be shipped FedEx and insured along with packed excellently to arrive at their new home in the same condition as you see in my pictures! So please no PO Boxes and will need to be signed for upon delivery. These weigh a total of 38 lbs !
Majority of my items for sale are pre-loved treasures that were most likely purchased at a local Estate Sale or a local resale shop in Arizona.  I may or may not know details but do spend time researching information to provide details the best I can and to pass along fair prices.
