About the Item

18th century French Louis XIV fireback with pillars of Hercules. The pillar refers to the club of Hercules, his favorite weapon. It symbolizes power. Since antiquity the ‘Pillars of Hercules’ are also the name of the promontories at both sides of the Strait of Gibraltar. Hence they also symbolize the frontier between the known and unknown world (Nec Plus Ultra, "nothing further beyond"), and later they also became symbols for the opposite, i.e. taking risks and confronting the unknown (Plus Ultra, ‘further beyond’). In the Spanish royal crest they also stand for the overseas possessions. The fireback has a natural brown patina. Upon request it can be made black / pewter at no extra cost. The fireback is in a good condition and does not have cracks. This product weighs more than 65 kg / 143 lbs.
