One of a pair of andirons in the form of rearing horses, after an eighteenth-century French Règence model (with NT 129655.1). The horses wear tasseled saddles and rear on their hind legs. Their forelimbs rest on an escutcheon bearing a coat of arms. The pedestal is lavishly decorated with masks of zephyrs, foliage, palmettes, volutes and counter-volutes. The sculpture was recorded in the 1911 inventory of Knole as being in the Ballroom.
