    Hello everyone!!
    I recently acquired this set of early 19th century andirons, or at least the figural portion of a set of andirons. They were very rusty when I got them, but a good cleaning and polishing helped to bring them back to life. I'm told that these are a depiction of Jack and Jill, but none of the depictions of Jack and Jill, that I've ever seen anyway, resemble this couple. I do wish the remainder of these andirons were still around, but unfortunately these are the only portions that remain. These are from England and I say that these are early 19th century, but, based on the design of these, I'm leaning more toward late 18th century. They each measure 7" tall and 7" wide.

    Thanks for stopping in for a look!!
    Scott

      Lol BB2!!
      I have two climate controlled storage units that I store most of my collection in. Believe it, or not, we have very few items displayed in our house. But, that's because my wife won't let me:)

      Thanks Jenni!! I love the brass embellishments and the scrolling in the cast iron. Something that you don't see on later pieces.

      Thanks Eileen!! I wish they were bookends, but they’re andirons. I do wish I had the remaining pieces to these andirons that are missing.
