This very beautiful pair of Louis XV style andirons was made in the 19th century. Chiselled in gilt bronze , it depicts the goddess of Love, Venus, and her husband Vulcan, god of fire and forges, both well adapted to keep the flames of the hearth. Shoulders covered under capes, they are seated on rocks of Vulcan's house, under Mount Etna. The beauty of Venus is underlined by her thick hair and the two characters are very expressive.
