andirons/chenets

Description

I'd like to know what these are, what time period they're from and their possible value. A neighbor is very pushy on me selling them to him so I can only assume they have value, he claims no more than $50.

 

they have no identifiable stampings or markings. The bow/ribbon is held by a nut. They're just over 16 inches tall and weigh 5lbs 4 ozs each. I believe they're brass not bronze.

They were my grandmothers, she passed away 8 years ago and i got them from her estate afterwards, from a box i was told was in storage for over 70 years in her attic.

Thank you for any help.
