A pair of cast brass andirons, also known as firedogs, designed in the traditional cannonball style. Each andiron features a prominent spherical ball finial mounted atop a turned baluster-form pedestal. The decorative front is supported by two splayed cabriole-style legs that terminate in shaped trifid feet. A horizontal square-section billet bar extends from the rear of the brass front piece, intended for supporting logs within a fireplace. The construction consists of cast brass components with turned detailing. No maker’s marks, stamps, or signatures are visible on any of the surfaces.
