Molded with incredible historic accuracy, this heavy piece replicates a classic Victorian-era heeled boot, complete with raised side buttons and detailed stitching contours along the shaft.

Originally engineered as a weighted base for a commercial retail dress-form mannequin, the piece features its original hollow interior and structural bottom pass-through tabs where a central display rod was once bolted. Today, this heavy-weight iron sculpture functions beautifully as a rustic doorstop, bookend, statement mantlepiece decoration, or industrial umbrella stand accent. It possesses a gorgeous, uniformly weathered, dark oxidized finish highlighting its genuine century-old manufacturing heritage.

A marvelous decorative object for collectors of Americana salvage, industrial design, or primitive farmhouse decor. See less
