Andiron

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photograph of andirons. Seven sets of andirons arranged in a line. Each set consists of two vertical pieces with a horizontal piece connecting them at the bottom. The vertical pieces have variously shaped finials on top. The finials are oval or spherical. Some sets have plain vertical pieces while others have decorative ones. The base of each andiron has three or four legs. The background is light gray.
