Set of 2 Reverse Countersink Hinges for Drop Leaf Table -- Hand Wrought ANTIQUE about 1840-60
2 3/4 x 1 1/4 inches
These are true wrought iron hinges hand made by a midwestern craftsman in the mid 19th century. The flats of the hinges are forge welded together and tapered from the barrel to a fine edge. If you look carefully at the images, you can see the overall of the forge welded joints.
Overall a very nice set with original forge patina in good working condition with very minor surface rust.
