Includes:
• Pair of sculptural black iron andirons with tall solid brass blade uprights
• Matching tripod tool stand with brass handles

Appears to have never been used. Excellent overall condition with minimal signs of age. Iron retains its original black finish with only light surface oxidation in places.
