About the Item
Early 20th Century Art Nouveau Style 'Wolf and the Dog' French fireback with a natural brown patina.
The fable of the wolf and the dog (Jean de la Fontaine 1621-1695). A hungry wolf meets a well-fed dog and compliments him on his good appearance. The dog describes his life of ease and invites the wolf to join him. As they go on their way, the wolf asks why the fur about the dog's neck is worn away. The dog replies that it is merely caused by the collar he has to wear at home. The wolf then leaves him, saying that a full belly is a rather poor price to pay for liberty.
The fireback is made of cast iron and has a natural brow patina. Upon request, it can be made black/pewter at no extra costs. The condition is good, with no cracks.
