Andiron

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white image of "Andiron" by unknown artist. The image shows a collection of andirons arranged in a row on a plain surface. The andirons are made of metal, likely iron or steel, and have a shiny finish. There are seven andirons visible, each with a distinctive design. From left to right, the first two andirons are small and have a simple, slender design with a rounded finial on top. The next two andirons are larger and have a more ornate design, with a teardrop-shaped finial on top and curved legs. The fifth andiron is smaller and has a simpler design with a rounded finial on top. The last two andirons on the right are larger and have a similar design to the second and third andirons, with a teardrop-shaped finial on top and curved legs. The background of the image is a plain gray wall, providing a neutral backdrop for the andirons.
