Victorian Cast Iron Boot Scraper (SOLD)

A lovely cast iron Victorian boot scrap, this piece has great patina and remains in original condition and still fully functional. C1880

Boot scrapers were necessary in the mid to late Victorian period when the number of horses used for transport increased. Convenient for removing mud and manure from the bottom of your shoe or boot, the scrapers admirably served their purpose for many years, the more affluent residents who owned a house with a front garden could also purchase a movable, cast iron boot scraper, which could be put outside when needed and taken in when not needed.

This would look great outside any front door.
