Cast-iron in the form of Hessian Soldiers, The best-known pattern of early 19th century cast andirons is that of Hessian Soldiers. It is believed that they were inspired by the dislike of the mercenary troops brought here by the British in the American Revolution. Hence, they were being burned in effigy. Most antique paint decorated andirons have long since lost their paint. These have an old, very well done repaint. Early to mid 19th century. Height 20", Width 9", Depth 19-1/2".
