The image shows two intricately designed andirons in front of a fireplace screen. The andirons have twisted rods and decorative bases. The color scheme consists of various shades of grey. The fireplace screen is in the background with the andirons spaced evenly apart in front of it. In the top corners, there are detailed design drawings, possibly blueprints. A ruler-like object lies diagonally in the bottom right area of the image.
