Pair of 18th century American brass and iron knife blade fireplace andirons with penny feet. Note the line in the brass top indicating a two part mold; this is what identifies early period andirons. Dimensions: 20" high x 9.5" wide x 15" deep. Excellent condition. For a similar example please see: 'Early American Andirons and Other Fireplace Accessories' by Henry J. Kauffman and Quentin H. Bowers, page 51, published by Thomas Nelson, Nashville and New York, in 1974.
