Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1910s:
Die-stamped copper with applied brass mounts: popular late Victorian and Edwardian novelty design.
Soft-soldered spill holders on the reverse: early twentieth-century domestic sheet-metal construction.
Dark natural oxidisation on the unfinished reverse: untouched metal behind the polished front.
Folded metal back-struts: simple support method for lightweight mantel ornaments.

This is an independent date report produced by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. The process uses the photographs shown on this page. The system is never told the date the dealer has declared. This report shows that the two dates corroborate.

This pair of Edwardian fireside ornaments takes the form of ladies boots, dating from circa 1910. The construction combines polished copper bodies with contrasting brass elements, presenting a warm metallic colour palette of copper and gold tones. Each boot includes decorative scalloped brass trim running up the side, embellished with riveted buttons, alongside bright brass toe caps and curved heels. The surface displays reflective finishes shaped to resemble vintage footwear facing inward toward one another. Measuring 12.5 cm high, 12 cm wide, and 6 cm deep, the pair sits compactly on a sturdy base. Placement suits a traditional fireplace hearth or mantelpiece within an English Country House interior setting. Collectors of historical fireplace accessories can position them together to frame an active grate or stand them on a library bookshelf among decorative objects. The dual metal composition provides visual interest through the contrast between the pinkish copper bodies and the yellow brass trim details. Maintenance requires only occasional dusting and soft cloth polishing to keep the metals bright. These decorative items bring period charm to a living room without occupying excessive space.

FAQs

Historically produced during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, metal boot ornaments served as decorative hearth accessories or small umbrella and stick holders, designed in the form of contemporary footwear.

These decorative items were typically crafted from sheet copper shaped via pressing or hammering, finished with riveted or brazed brass details such as toe caps, heels, and scalloped button trims.

Authentic early 20th-century examples display folded or brazed seams, hand-riveted brass fittings, age-appropriate wear along the base, and slight variations consistent with manual assembly.

These pieces can be styled as accent pieces directly on a fireplace hearth, placed on a console table, or used as bookends on shelving to introduce warm metallic tones.

Dust regularly with a soft microfibre cloth and clean periodically using specialised brass and copper polish, taking care to avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the surface metal.
