Early American Canonball Brass Andirons
-
Description
Beautiful pair of early American andirons.
Large pieces!
Possibly made in or around Virginia, circa 1820-1830.
Often referred to as 'Canonball' andirons due to the large oversized balls on the top.
The ball sits on a square plinth which then leads top a baluster shaped central column ending in an acorn style base which again, sits on a square plinth and square column. The feet are padded toes.
The history of the pieces is that they came to Dallas, TX with a family at the start of the 20th century with roots in Kentucky and Virginia pre-Civil War. They have remained in family ownership since. We can verify that provenance.
In 'true' original condition, with all the signs and evidence of genuine aging through use and age. Some oxidization as one would expect.
Came from the same Estate as the monumental walnut fire surround and early 19th century English brass reticulated fender, also in our store. -
