Made in Philadelphia, circa 1800s, The Federal Period.

Made of solid brass, the Andirons each sit on 2 bun feet with curved, flowing legs edged or topped with a curved shell.

The Central Column is in the form and design of a Roman Column which sits on a square plinth and finishes with a squared plinth at the top. The squared plinth is then topped with a large Ball Finial.

The back of the andirons consists of a curved brass bar ending with a smaller ball finial and turned leg, again in solid brass.

Extending backwards the Andirons have a curved cast iron stand that would extend into the fireplace. See less
