Graphic, Satisfying Old Iron Something (Stove Part?) 1920s folk art portrait The frame is in goodI'm not quite sure the original function of this, though this perhaps once part of a stove. I just thought think it a great object and a graphically satisfying thing now, good hung on the wall, with a bit of a clock face aspect about it, evincing a infinite loop. Would make a good structure for a wreath of lights too! Nice silvery surface to the iron. 1 7 16 x 10 7 8 x 9 16 and in very good, nicely aged condition.
