andirons
Log-supporting metal stands
Andirons are a pair of metal supports for holding logs in a fireplace.
Each andiron consists of a horizontal bar that supports the wood and a vertical decorative piece at the front.
They keep logs elevated so air can circulate underneath, allowing the fire to burn more efficiently.
The brass andirons gleamed in the firelight.
