The horizontal log supports are attached to the shaft with dove-tail joints at the back (see patent dated May 26, 1868, lamps and chandeliers).The andirons are stamped: "Patented August 24, 1886, the B&H mark, 9510." This patent refers to the design and was issued to Frederick Seidensticker, assigned to the Bradley and Hubbard Manufacturing Company. The finish on this pair is black enamel lacquer.

The design of this pair of andirons consists of a pair of inwardly scrolled feet that merge into a tapered shaft, all decorated with a serpentine motif and having a shield located at the intersection of the legs and shaft. The shaft is topped by an applied circular disc cast with a grotesque mask in the form of an animal's face, perhaps a lion.
