AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Pair of brass andirons in a classic style, often associated with Queen Anne or Federal styles.

• Material: The main visible component is polished brass. The back part that supports the logs (the fire basket) is made of wrought iron, a material more resistant to intense heat.
Design: The fire dogs feature a column or baluster shape topped with a decorative ball, a form often called 'lemon top' in American and English styles. The base is arched and stable.
• Usage: They are used to prevent logs from rolling around the room and to improve the fire's draft by allowing air to circulate under the wood.
