19th C Brass Serpentine Fire Fender - A handsome late nineteenth-century brass fire fender of long serpentine form, with pierced diamond-lattice sides contained by rolled and molded rails. Four boldly cast lion-paw feet support the guard and emphasize its elegant curves. The combination of openwork and sculptural feet gives the fender a refined presence as a functional or decorative period hearth accessory.
