Furnishings with patriotic symbols, made in both England and the United States, appealed to American customers during the Federal period. They continued to be prized by American collectors long afterwards. Look for noble eagles in the cut brasswork on the fender and andirons. Can you spot an engraved eagle on the handle of the fire tongs?
