Throughout the late19th century in fashionable Boston
and New York this remarkable piece was a symbol of status. There is
an identical specimen in the Museum of Modern Art. Made in Ohio in
1884. Noteworthy for its exceptionally fine relief ornament in
floral scrolls and with classic ribbing. Standing 30" or 77cm.
This cast iron piece is hand painted in National Trust white, black
or green or at additional cost to special
requirements. The effect of such a pair at an important entrance is
impressive.
