Victorian Cast Iron Steeple Tip Hinges
This lot comprises five decorative cast iron butt hinges, characteristic of late 19th-century Victorian architectural hardware. The collection features two distinct but complementary patterns. Three hinges display a foliate scrollwork design in high relief against a textured background, paired with plain knuckles and ornate steeple finials decorated with acanthus leaf motifs. The other two hinges feature a similar scroll and textured plate design but are further embellished with embossed diamond and quatrefoil patterns along the hinge barrel knuckles. Each hinge is a loose-pin type with four countersunk mounting holes per leaf, totaling eight holes per unit. No maker marks, names, or patent dates are visible on the cast surfaces. Width of hinge plates fully open: 4 inches Height of hinge plates: 4 inches.
