American Folk Art Cast Iron Janus-Faced Paperweight.

Size Approx: 2 x 1 in.

Weight Approx: 112 grams

You are bidding on an antique (circa, late-19th C.) American Folk Art cast iron paperweight. This beautifully cast weight features a janus-faced bust of a man & woman (presumably, husband & wife?) with traces of pigment remaining in recesses and tenon tongue on bottom, weight most likely had a wooden mortise hole base that's now lost and appears to be an 'End of Day' project made by a very talented craftsman. 

Condition Report: some surface wear and pigment loss as shown, dirty/dusty from years of storage, needs cleaning. More photos on request!
