Fire back

Recommended Posts

Finally hunted down a big fireback for one of our inglenooks.

It's heavy Big Dave even sweated moving it.

It has a picture of an Eagle carrying a Child on it.

Done some research and it may be Aquila the Eagle carrying Antinous or Zeus carrying Gannymede (bit dodgy that one).

Do you think the French would put Greeks or Romans on French firebacks or is it some other French myth?

Your thoughts appreciated...

You should be careful where you leave your bowels.

Some Frenchman might come along and make them into andouillettes.

Then it would be sing-along-a-sink time when the aliens arrive. [Smile]

Congrats you are the first to make note of this and win the star prize.

The software on this forum is a bit sixties - I have changed my signature and magically all my posts get the new strap line so your post is senseless and you lose the prize.
