Antique Georgian Wrought Iron & Yorkstone Country House Boot Scraper c.1800
A beautifully original Georgian hand-forged wrought iron country house boot scraper set within a substantial solid Yorkstone plinth.
Unlike urban scrapers often fixed into existing masonry, the monumental weight of this thick-section Yorkstone slab provides a self-supporting ballast for grand country house porticoes without disturbing existing flagstones. Its wide, stable footprint makes it suited for placement beside a main entrance doorway, sheltered porch step or flagstone boot room.
Very good antique condition, exhibiting a rich, pitted patina to the ironwork and natural historic weathering to the stone base. Features a minor historic parting at the blade’s central forge-weld, yet remains structurally solid throughout with tight, stable lead-poured sockets, fully ready for placement.
English, circa 1800.
