A rare pair of painted bronze and cast iron boot scrapers
circa 1840 with opposing bronze griffin monopodiae, set in cast iron oval base 28cm.; 11ins high by 33cm.; 13ins long Most examples are made from cast iron and it is likely that this and the following pair would originally have stood within a covered portico or entranceway of a substantial residence and being made of bronze, they would be less exposed to the vagaries of the British weather.
