pair of monumental bronze and steel fire dogs

Circa 1870, very unusual style of monumental fire dogs, made of a combination of bronze and steel. The tops are surmounted by bronze figures dressed in classic Roman clothing. They stand on an upright with fluted and bulbous sections with engravings, cast figures and lion heads, finishing on a triangular base with further cast figures in the apron. Below this is a very stylish blacksmith made Rococo base which is shaped and has been hand engraved, and there are two large arms at the back. Wonderful colour and patination on the bronze.

Georgian Antiques

Georgian Antiques was founded in 1978 by John Dixon's brother Padriac in a small shop at Jocks Lodge, Meadowbank in Edinburgh, with John joining the business after finishing college in 1981. The business grew so rapidly, they couldn't keep up with their inventory needs. Their goal has been to create a one-stop-shop where designers can complete an entire project from antique lighting to antique furniture to accessories. Scotland's largest antiques warehouse is located in a converted whiskey bond in historic Leith Edinburgh. With 50,000sq ft over five floors we offer a wide range of quality Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian furniture, as well as continental and small decorative items. Our stock is constantly changing.
