What’s more Maine than this? The late 19th-/early 20th-century pair of lobster andirons, cast from an actual lobster, was $2200 from Elizabeth Yates Turner of South Bristol, Maine at the Bath Antique Sale www.maineantiquedigest.com/stories/bath... #antiques #antique #lobster #Maine #andirons #art

Learned a new term today! These #antique, handmade #andirons from the 19th century have “trammel” posts. The sawtooth-looking uprights are a mechanism for allowing one to set hooks at different heights above a fire, usually to support a cooking pot. Cool! www.ebay.com/itm/32648648...
