Pair of antique lithograph Victorian chimney flue covers, one of a summer country landscape and the other depicts a young boy with dog. In 19th-century homes, wood-burning or coal stoves were connected to chimneys through wall openings. During summer months when stoves were disconnected, these decorative covers were hung to hide the unsightly, soot-covered holes. Excellent antique condition with original metal frames and chains for hanging.
