Andiron

Paul Revere Jr.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Two andirons, made of dark metal, likely iron or steel, with a weathered appearance. The andirons have four legs each, with three curved outward and one straight down. The bases of the andirons are square and connected to the legs. The vertical posts are long and slender with decorative elements, including stacked rings and a short finial. The top of each post is crowned with a domed finial. The andirons are positioned against a plain background that lightens towards the top. The work is titled "Andiron" and attributed to artist Paul Revere Jr.
