Antique Brass Andirons

Andirons, also known as firedogs, have been used for centuries to support burning wood in fireplaces. They serve the practical purpose of elevating the logs to allow air circulation, promoting better combustion and heat distribution. Early andirons were simple iron bars, but over time, they evolved into decorative objects reflecting the style and craftsmanship of different eras.

These particular andirons appear to be from the late 19th or early 20th century, judging by their design and materials. The ball-top design was popular during this period, and the brass or bronze construction suggests a focus on both functionality and aesthetics. Andirons like these were often found in homes of the upper and middle classes, adding a touch of elegance to the hearth.
