Andiron

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows two andirons. The andirons are made of dark metal with a brown tint. They have a long, thin vertical piece in the center. A circular piece is attached to the top of the vertical piece. A curved piece extends from the top of the circular piece and bends to the left and then down. The curved piece has a geometric shape at the end. Each andiron has three legs, one straight leg at the back and two curved legs at the front. The background is gray, becoming lighter towards the bottom. The andirons are on a white surface. The andirons are by Andiron.
