Paul Revere Jr.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Two andirons, identical in design and shape, made of dark metal. The andirons feature a tall, thin, cylindrical base adorned with stacked square and rounded decorative elements. The base supports a rounded, domed top. Below, a T-shaped piece extends to the side. The andirons each stand on four curved legs, widened at the ends. The background is a plain grey color. The andirons are titled "Andiron" and are the work of artist Paul Revere Jr.
