Westland London

Description

A enormous and highly eccentric pair of Gothic Revival antique wrought iron andirons, each with four barley twist columns enclosing a fifth entwined around which are mythical writhing serpents with thrusting heads. Leaves and serpents spill out of the cresset tops and there are two smaller cressets below to the front extending upwards from the back bars. The whole is supported on sturdy elaborately scrolled feet.
French late 19th century.
