Fire Grate

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black metal fire grate titled "Fire Grate" by artist unknown. The grate has a rectangular shape with a flat bottom. Four horizontal bars span across; the top bar is shorter than the three below it. Two tall, thin posts on either side extend vertically from the top of the grate, each featuring a small, decorative finial at the top. The posts have vertical grooves running along their length. The legs are curved and taper towards the bottom. The grate sits on a plain surface against a plain background.
