专家说明

These andirons, also described as fire-dogs or chenets, are copies of unmarked examples of circa 1665 which are displayed in the Reynolds Room of Knole House in Kent, (NT. 130004), the ancestral home of the Dukes of Dorset. The prototypes were exhibited in the 1929 Park Lane exhibition, on loan from Lord Sackville, see Catalogue of a Loan Exhibition of Old English Plate and Decorations and Orders, London, 1929, cat. no. 749, pl. XXVII.
