Style Other / Ref.13215

Regence style fireback with phoenix

Dimensions:
Width: 35''   89cm
Height: 27'' ⅛  69cm
Depth: 1'' ⅛  3cm

Origin:
19th century.

This cast iron fireback was made in the 19th century.
It is adorned with a phoenix which is starting to burn in an elegant arabesque decoration composed of flowers and acanthus leaves. It is also lightened up with the words "Flames sont fleurs ou je repren ma vie" in old French, meaning in English : Flammes are the flowers where I reborn, being an echo to the legend saying that the phoenix is able to return to life after being burnt.
