New Orleans Iron Grate
$50
I found this piece at an antique store in New Orleans and just thought the colors and the graphic shape were too interesting to pass up. I'm not exactly sure what it is?? Possibly it was used as a grate of some kind inside the home? Or maybe it was part of a classic New Orleans-style wrought iron gate?
The green and red you see are paint remnants that remain very vibrant despite its obvious age. The other surfaces are definitely rusting and [in some parts] flaking, but that is definitely where the charm comes in, as well.
I can see this hung on the wall just like any other work of "art" myself. But it could certainly add some visual interest propped up just about anywhere.
