{"product_id":"antique-cast-iron-wall-plaque-bas-relief-cat","title":"Cast Iron Oval Wall Plaque, Bas Relief Cat Among Flowering Branches, Aged Patina","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eA cast-iron oval wall plaque worked in bas-relief, a long-haired cat seated beneath flowering branches with butterflies above and a flowering vine down one side, the fur and foliage rendered in fine detail. The surface carries a heavy rust-brown patina with a blue-green passage along the left edge; that color reads as old paint or an applied finish rather than evidence of age, since rust forms quickly and is not a reliable dating clue. Decorative cast iron of this kind was made in America and England from the late 19th century onward, but the plaque is unsigned, and unmarked cast iron is hard to date; a 20th-century or later decorative casting cannot be ruled out from images. A handsome, weighty piece with a cast hanging hole at the top.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Valley House Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46972883370137,"sku":null,"price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/1270\/1593\/files\/IMG_6577_2-removebg-preview.png?v=1776881589","url":"https:\/\/valleyhouseantiques.com\/products\/antique-cast-iron-wall-plaque-bas-relief-cat","provider":"Valley House Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
