Live auction will start in __ days and __ hours

Start price: £10

Estimated price: £20 - £30

Buyer's Premium:

A pair of cast iron supports modelled in the form of dolphins. Each piece features a recurved S-scroll body with flared terminals resembling whale or dolphin flukes. The supports are cast with integral, flattened oval bases. The surface is textured from the sand-casting process and retains a dark, oxidised patina. These items are characteristic of neoclassical architectural ironwork and were likely used as side brackets for a boot scraper or as decorative elements. No maker’s marks or stamps are visible.
Height: Approximately 15 – 20 cm.


Condition report:

Both supports are in good structural condition. The cast iron shows an aged patina with some surface oxidation and pitting consistent with age and use. There are no visible cracks or repairs.
