SKU: UR-27358-17
single resized 19th century pressed and folded galvanized sheet iron cornice fragment originally used to crown the facade of a 19th century brick two-flat victorian residence demolished in recent days. the lightly cleaned and compact presentable fragment was designed and fabricated by knisely & miller, with metal shops located on clinton street in downtown chicago (near the present day union station). the company focused primarily on roofing materials, including cornices, skylights, corrugated tin ceilings, etc., for both commercial and residential installations during the 1880's. black stenciled lettering discovered on the backside identified the maker. the protruding bracketed cornice segment was originally held together and anchored to the masonry with riveted joint malleable iron straps. the recessed or sunken panels between the corbels are embellished with ornamental floral design applique. with the exception of allover paint crazing, which was expected due to prolonged exposure to the elements, there is very little rust evident. makes for distinctive wall decor, etc.
