Black and white photograph of andirons, titled "Andiron" by Richard Wittingham. Two metal fireplace andirons with a dark patina. Each andiron features a rectangular base with a curved support on either side and a ball at the end of each curved support. A thin rectangular piece of metal extends upwards from the base. Above this, a spherical section features a raised line around its middle. A narrower, similarly shaped section connects to a large finial. The finials are composed of a tapered section with a small sphere at the top. The andirons are positioned on a light-colored floor against a plain gray background.
