Product Description
This antique English cast iron doorway boot scraper features a striking dolphin and shell motif, crafted in heavy cast iron with its original rustic black painted finish. Measuring approximately 27cm x 23cm x 18cm and weighing around 3.1kg, it is both decorative and functional, embodying the Victorian era’s tradition of combining practicality with artistry.
A note on condition: the original bolt had snapped but has been expertly restored, with the two pieces epoxied back together — a repair that is in fact stronger than the original fixing. This restoration ensures durability while preserving the scraper’s authentic character.
A fine example of English craftsmanship, it makes a distinctive and practical addition to any entranceway, or a collectible piece for those who appreciate 19th-century ironwork.
