Andiron

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a pair of andirons by the artist. The andirons are made of metal, likely silver or chrome, and have a reflective surface. They have three legs each, with the front two legs curved outward and ending in a ball; the back leg is straight. The tops of the andirons are spherical, and they are attached to a short, ornate stem. The stem has a wide base that tapers to a narrower middle section before widening again to support the sphere. The andirons are symmetrical, with one on the left and one on the right. The background of the image is a plain gray color. The andirons cast a shadow on the surface below them. They are positioned on a flat surface.
