Antique Cast Iron order Boot Scraper, Shoe Scraper, British, English, Stake, Spike, Victorian Bootscraper, Garden Decor, Housewarming, horseshoe,

Great antique cast iron boot scraper from England!   This fabulous piece - many still in use! - would be present at the doors to homes to encourage inhabitants and visitors to scrape the mud and other detritus from their boots before entering the house.  

Slightly decorative with two finials at the tips; the top small ‘ball' on one side was either broken off or worn down. Lots of pitting, rust, and white / off-white paint drips.  Blade is corroded but seems to be strong!  To use - sink order deep into your ground (I believe it is ideal to sink it into concrete, but given the length of the blade, and depending on the softness of your land, it may not be necessary!).  No maker's mark that I can discern. 

What a perfect, authentic piece to add that amazing touch to the entrance of your home.  

Approximate measurements: 
Total length, blade to finial tip:  21 1/2”
Blade length:  ~13”
Scraper height (part that would be above ground): ~ 9”
Total width, widest point: 7 3/4”
Width of interior scraper blade: 4 1/2”


Please convo me with any questions - thank you for looking!
