Fluke Tavern Andirons |
Description |
Pair of decorative wrought iron andirons that were used, according to family tradition, in the Fluke Tavern in Blue Ridge, Virginia, along the Lynchburg-Salem Turnpike. Andirons have patterned plinths with arch shaped legs, and end in a spade-like finial. Andirons were most likely made from iron mined from Cloverdale Furnace, one of Botetourt's many furnaces, as it was the closest to the tavern. |
