A RARE PAIR OF
MINIATURE IRON AND BRASS ANDIRONS
Tool Rests...
Rhode Island
Circa 1780
Each andiron with spherical finials, bulging and beaded standard continuing to large penny feet. Each in three parts: the standard, the log rest and the feet. The feet and standard are each cast in one piece and screwed together; the log rests are bent iron that tenon into the base of the standard. Their small size and refined proportions are extremely rare and they are very desirable to collectors of miniature furniture or accessories.
These andirons were possibly used as tool rests, pipe rests or as salesman's samples. Ball-topped andirons with bulging columns and circular bosses are usually attributed to Rhode Island; several examples with ball-and-claw feet have been found in the Newport area. Full-size andirons of comparable design are illustrated in The Brass Book: American, English and European, Fifteenth Century through 1850 (Schiffer, pp. 71).
These andirons are in a very fine state of preservation: original patination.
Dimensions: Height: 6 ¼ inches; Width: 4 ½ inches; Depth: 4 ¼ inches
