Andiron

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white image of andirons by artist unknown. Two identical fireplace andirons made of dark metal. Each andiron has a round ball at the top attached to a long tapered rectangular piece that angles down and attaches to a base with a flat piece that curves up on both sides. A protrusion on the back attaches to a long curved piece and a short piece that extends to the side. The background is light gray.
