Andiron

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a pair of andirons, titled "Andiron", by artist unknown. Two andirons stand side by side, each with a spherical finial at the top of a turned wooden-form-influenced support; a curved, scalloped, three-legged base; and a curved piece connecting the legs that extends back and attaches to another, shorter support with a smaller spherical finial. The andiron on the left is taller than the one on the right. A third, shorter support with a spherical finial sits behind and between the andirons. The background is a light-colored wall and floor. The image is in black and white.
