Description

Handsome ANTIQUE    Cast Iron  GATE  POST.
This is a  handsome   late 1800's cast iron gate fence post. It has  some  rust, but in  good shape -Its very old. It would make a great focal point in the vintage  garden.
Gate post measures  approximately  60 inches tall and  7 "   wide  each
Condition- Some rusting see photos for any  area of concern.  It   is attached to  a  small concrete   base .
The post  came  from  very old 1800s Southern Home in Montgomery Alabama. It is of  iron and In good condition with   obvious rust  from age of  being outside but  the old  patina adds a  real   authentic nostalgic look!.
DECORATIVE AND  NOSTALGIC
This    cast iron posts are one part of this Southern Antique collector's possessions , who as the old homes were destroyed  back in the 1930's- 1950'd, this collector carefully salvaged the old mantles and stored in for more than half of a century. The Newspaper article said."Maybe the collector didn’t even remember where it was stored or why he had saved it all those years. Maybe just because he liked it , with no use in mind. But the fact remains that, in depths of the Great Depression when the decorative features of razed residences might be had, at least, for carting them away at most, for a song. This collector did a lot of singing! His acquisitions, in any event are incorporated today in some of the old south’s pretentious homes. He owned many old homes here and as they were torn down --he managed to salvage much of the fencing , marble mantles, brass door knobs..etc..
Posts of this type were popular in the late 1800's and beginning of 20 th century  to grace the mansions built  more than a  Century ago.  The post   is a handsome  architectural accent  and would look great with a vintage home.
