Two matching andirons made of wrought iron. They have wide necks leading to open, rounded handles. The base of the neck is attached to the rod, extending through the front balusters. The front legs are bowed with small l-shaped feet. They appear to be hand-forged. They are believed to have been from the Marvin Huntley House - now the Huntley-Brown House on the museum property.
