About the Item

This fantastic pair of monumental French Louis XVI chenets are made of bronze and date back to the 18th century. The pair is adorned with Fleur de Lis at top, canter, and ends, and a single putti face is found at the centre of each. The bronze is beautifully draped in pattern work and details; note the pair of dragons enveloping the putti, each exhaling a breadth of fire. The magnificent pair is poised to bring a regal, stately presence to any fireplace. The piece is part of the collection from The French Antique Shop, a fourth generation antique store in the heart of the French Quarter of New Orleans. A space that was created and curated at first by Marie and Marcelle and Granet. Their first shop was located in the heart of Paris, and opened in 1919 after they migrated to Paris from Romania post World War I. Shortly after establishing themselves in Paris, as a Jewish family they were forced to flee in the late 1930s before World War II. Marie and Marcel opened up their shop in New Orleans in 1939, the city in which this antique collection has grown and continues to flourish. The store is now run by the third and fourth generation, Marc, Michael, and Brian Friedlander, and is a highly curated space filled with rare antiquities, fine antique lighting, eclectic fixtures, and everything in between. We have imported all the antique items in our collection directly from France.
