About the Item

Early Vintage Pair of Brass Spanish Treasure Ship Andirons, circa 1920s, cast brass image of the square-rigged Spanish Galleon "Don Fernando" under full sail, with gunports open, pennants flying at mastheads, a grand figurehead gracing the bows, and a sternboard embossed "Don Fernando." The andirons remain in fine condition, with of course a tarnished patina, and only the wire at leading edge of fore sails a bit astray. There were a number of historic galleons named Don Fernando (de la ____), most likely named in commemoration of the Admiral Ferdinand Magellan. Measures: 18-1/4 in H x 15-3/8 W x 14-3/4 in Deep
