A PAIR OF VICTORIAN PAINTED CAST IRON HERALDIC FIRE DOGS,

Condition Report: click here
Estimate: £600 - £1,200
Hammer price: £1,300
Bidding ended. Lot has been sold.

circa 1875, each cast with a gryphon's head with a copper collar to the neck, on a rectangular base, each on twin outscrolled legs to plinth feet, 54cm high x 25cm wide 

Both items bear the usual minor knocks, scuffs and abrasions overall consistent with age and use.

There is surface oxidisation in places overall, but in no area has the rust compromised the integrity of the metal's strength. One example is more roughly oxidised overall than the other.

Both gryphon heads lift off their bases and will need new bolts.

Otherwise, perfectly satisfactory order.
