Table Embers, Brass. Heart Decor. 18th Century.

Forged tank, reworked, with a rolled edge decorated with hatching and dotted lines. In the center is embossed a heart in strong relief with on the reverse an unidentified dinandier hallmark (17..hammer, fleur-de-lys). Tripod base with bird profile and roller shoe, in cast brass. Turned wood handle (small lack). It is customary to assume that the presence of a heart as a decoration on an object gives it the intention of a wedding or engagement gift. Diameter: 20.6 cm.
