SOLD Antique Architectural Iron Ornament Leaf in Glorious Old Paint sanborn and carter with one tear at one

with one tear at one corner that allows one to see (and extract a card from) inside

I'd guess early 20th century or so

a good one in many ways

imparting both a sense of calm and of the miraculous

(One handwritten letter references a lace pattern sent to the Emma Sylvester whose lot this was in Feb 1940

SOLD Antique Architectural Iron Ornament Leaf in Glorious Old Paint sanborn and carter with one tear at oneGorgeous foliage this week on a drive to Vermont, where I found this gorgeous antique iron leaf, an piece of architectural ornament I believe, which must have part of something pretty spectacular. I love the form, with feathered edges and curled tip, and the wonderfully crusty old paint on it, including gold down the middle. Great as a paperweight, or just a tabletop object, quite beautiful and substantial feeling. 6 7 8" l x 3 1 2" w x 2" t. Good
