Private collection southern Germany.
Literature:
Hans Ottomeyer and Peter Pr?schel: Vergoldete Bronzen, vol. 1, Munich 1989. Regarding this type copmpare fig. 2.4.5 and 2.6.1.
The two andirons mark the high point of the so-called \"go?t pittoresque\". Nature is integrated into the interior decoration as a bizarrely exaggerated decorative element. In addition, there is the representation of the foreign, the exotic in the form of the sitting Chinese couple, who are now at the service of a supposedly cultivated world.
