Late Louis XIII or early Louis XIV period
Very curious, funny and refined tripod embossed and chiseled brass table stove, with 2 wooden turned handles on each side.
In the shape of MEDIEVAL BEAMS, there are 2 open dragons' mouths that swallow the handles
The stove stand on 3 powerful claw feet borrowing from the antique or Roman register
The shape is absolutly unknown tfor my mind. These tableware usually have only one handle and are much simpler in design.
Size:
35,5cm length * 13cm depth and 6,5cm height
Very elegant decorative utensil for a Haute Epoque decoration, which one would imagine perfectly on a castle kitchen, with a beautiful Renaissance candle holder, antique brass and old glassware, Louis XIII forks and antique knives, folk art ceramics or glazed earthenware...
