SOLD Antique Architectural Iron Ornament Leaf in Glorious Old Paint sanborn and carter The frame itself shows wearGorgeous 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
