Antique Victorian Cast Iron Boot Scraper with Scalloped Drip Tray

Description :
This is a late 19th to early 20th century cast iron boot scraper, featuring ornate Victorian scrollwork and a scalloped-edge drip tray. Designed to sit near the entrance of a home or porch, its raised scraper bar would remove mud and debris from footwear, while the basin below collected the runoff. The cast details on the upright supports show stylized foliage and flourishes typical of the period. Naturally rusted and unpainted, this piece carries an aged patina desirable to collectors of architectural salvage or vintage garden decor.
