NY Good Questions: Similar Bench Legs?

3.5legs.jpg Hello AT,

I found a unique set of bench legs on Ebay, but sadly lost the auction.

Does anybody know a source or have any information on a set like the attached?

Thanks! Kelli

Excactly like those.

No.

But, every Architectural Salvage shop worth their salt should have some.

using "key phrases", Architectural Salvage, architectural Artifacts, Cast Iron Legs- Im sure the web will yield something you'll fancy.

They are probably Victorian. So you may want to look for antique, reproduction, hoof foot.

Here is a bench with hoof foot legs attached:

It's description was:
PAIR VICTORIAN STYLE CAST IRON BENCHES. Arched back with center trefoil decoration, radiating lines, slatted seats, arched hoof feet. Dimensions: 48"W., 25"D., 38"H.
Expected to go for between $800-1200

No, I didn't find any either, but calling around now might be easier. You have an idea of what they may have been attached to.
