Brass Andirons
c. 1938
Edward L. Loper created this detailed design for a brass andiron around 1938, blending functional craftsmanship with a touch of modernist elegance. The drawing captures the gleam of the polished brass, from the fluted column to the ornate finial on top, looking almost real enough to warm your toes by. Handwritten notes like 'Build &gp. #1' at the top and a technical diagram with exact measurements in the corner reveal this was a working blueprint for a craftsman. It's a fascinating glimpse into the world of industrial design, where art meets everyday utility.
