Description

This unusual mechanical cobblers last by Lacoste Villeneuve-Sur-Lot is made of painted cast iron and has a brass shoe form which opens and closes to clamp the shoe in place.

This French heavy industrial boot last has Lacoste cast on one side and Villeneuve-Sur-Lot on the other and is stamped with the number 24 on the top.

The whole piece has an over engineered feel, is very heavy and well made which makes it perfect for a statement piece. The base can be bolted to a table top but stands sound as it is.

Would make a super decorative item for a shoe shop, bar or home decor. Would also make a very nice and unusual door stop.

Weight: 5.5 Kg.

Height: 35 cm (14") approx.

Length: 30 cm (12") approx.

Width: 10 cm (4") approx.

Condition: In good used antique decorative condition with signs of use in keeping with age. A few marks, scuffs and chips leaving a wonderful patina. Cast iron parts have been painted in the past. Wood handle has lots of wear.

Please note that only the metal shoe last is included and any other items in the pictures are for display only.
