ANTIQUE BOOT SCRAPER
A fabulous Victorian cast iron boot scraper of large size, painstakingly prepared ready for installation.
This example is of the rarer type to be ‘set in stone’ – cemented into a hard base, as opposed to the more common variants which have an integral cast iron tray at the base.
Although the manufacturer is unknown, the design number is 27 which is cast into the cross rail.
A very large example, it would be perfect for a townhouse or country estate where a much more imposing boot scraper is desirable – this example is quite monumental in proportions and consequently heavy too!
