Anchor Andirons Add Nautical Touch to Your Fireplace

Lindsay ~ 26 January 2007

If you’ve got a beach vacation cottage you’re decorating (or maybe you’re lucky enough to live by the water year around), a nautical theme can be fun. This doesn’t mean you have to hang netting and captain’s wheels on the walls and prop a rusty anchor in the corner. You can do something more subtle and achieve nautical flair.

These anchor andirons are the perfect way to lend that touch to the living room fireplace. They’re functional as well as attractive, designed to hold back logs so they won’t roll out of the firebox when they’re burning. Standing 12″ wide by 17″ high, these andirons are finished in white polished bronze. They’re available from Lyle and Umbach.
