Two andirons, titled "Andiron" by Revere and Son, are shown standing upright. The andirons are made of metal, likely silver, and have a dark patina. Each andiron has a base with three curved legs ending in ball-shaped feet. The base of each andiron has a short rectangular block supporting a series of stacked decorative elements. The decorative elements are a short cylinder, a larger, spiral grooved element narrowing to a short cylinder, another larger spiral grooved element narrowing to a short cylinder, and finally a bulbous element tapering to a point. The andirons are positioned on a flat surface against a plain wall.
