Antique cast‑iron dachshund andiron, dating to the early 1900s. This is a single andiron — ideal for collectors looking to complete a set or add a decorative figural piece to a fireplace display.
The dachshund form features the long, low body and rounded snout commonly seen in early American foundry work, including pieces produced by well‑known makers of the period. The silhouette is especially similar to designs documented in Albany Foundry’s early 20th‑century figural iron catalog, though the piece is unmarked, as many examples from that era were.
The iron shows an attractive, age‑appropriate patina with no cracks or structural damage. The rear support is solid and stable.
Condition: Antique, good condition. Surface wear and patina consistent with age. No breaks or repairs.
A charming example of early 20th‑century novelty cast‑iron fireplace hardware — perfect for collectors, decorators, or anyone who loves dog‑themed antiques.
