Fireplace Andirons 

An andiron is a horizontal bar upon which logs are laid for burning in an open fireplace.  Fireplace andirons usually come in pairs.  They hold up the firewood so that a draft of air can pass around it and allow proper burning and less smoke.  Andirons stand on short legs and are usually connected with an upright guard that prevents the logs from rolling out of the fireplace. 

Over the years fireplace andirons have become a household object of interest for artists and designers.  Andirons have been designed with heraldic symbols, sphinxes, grotesque animals, mythological creatures and much more.  And sometimes andirons have been referred to by the creatures they portrayed.  If you have ever heard andirons referred to as firedogs, this comes from the tendency in the past to call dog andirons by the object they portray.  It also plays on the double meaning for the word dog - canine and inanimate holder.
