Andiron

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photo of a pair of andirons by artist unknown. Two dark-colored, ornate metal andirons standing upright. Each andiron has a thin vertical post on top with ornate details. The posts are bulbous in the middle with a smaller top and bottom. The andirons have three curved legs with ball-shaped feet. The two andirons have a short horizontal bar connecting the legs with decorative details on top. The background is a plain gray surface with darker and lighter patches. The andirons are titled "Andiron". No other objects or people are visible. The overall appearance is formal.
