Small 18th Century Fireback from France

H=18 1/2, W=17 1/2

Originally, firebacks were used in fireplaces to radiate heat into the room. Now, in addition to use in fireplaces, they can also be used as ornamentation on stone walls, above stoves, or as an accessory.

This antique French fireback depicts a Royal French Coat of Arms with figures of men supporting a shield with three fleur-de-lis. The background shows flags flying to either side, while there is an egg and dart motif surrounding the interior central dome shape of the fireback.
