Die zwei Kaminböcke mit kräftig ausgearbeiteten bärtigen Männerköpfen wurden von dem Maler, Architekten, Bildhauer und Kunstgewerbler Curt Stoeving (Leipzig 1863-1939 Berlin) gefertigt. Diese waren nachweislich 1904 auf der Weltausstellung in St. Louis im amerikanischen Bundesstaat Missouri ausgestellt, wo er eine Halle mit Kamin präsentierte. In der Berliner Architekturwelt (1905) schrieb A. Brüning: "Curt Stoeving gehört zu der Gruppe Berliner Künstler, die sich unter dem Namen Werkring zu gemeinsamen Wirken vereinigt haben, und die schon im vorigen Jahre auf einer Ausstellung in Turin (= Prima Esposizione Internazionale dArte Decorativa Moderna/Erste Internationale Ausstellung für moderne dekorative Kunst 1903), wo sie sich zuerst zusammenfanden, Berlins Wohnungskunst mit Erfolg vertreten haben."

Mit Zettel "George Economou Art Collection, 80, Kiffisias Ave., 15125 Amaroussion. Greece" mit handschriftler Notiz: "CURT STOEVING Pair of Jugendstil Firetags 1904 wrought iron H.68cm, D. 62cm 720".
