American Mid-20th Century Folk Art Rooster Bootscrape

About the Item

Full of charm and personality, this mid-20th century American iron bootscrape takes the form of a cheeky rooster—one foot lifted mid-strut, tail feathers slightly ruffled, and a knowing glint in his pierced eye. Crafted of solid iron and mounted to a base plate for easy attachment to your porch decking, this piece was made for utility but delights with its folk art spirit. Folk art often blends function and imagination, transforming everyday objects into expressions of humor, pride, and personality—and this rooster fits the bill perfectly. With its playful stance and sculptural presence, it offers a warm, whimsical welcome to guests while quietly nodding to America’s rich tradition of handcrafted vernacular design. Whether placed by the front door or tucked beside a garden path, it’s a small but bold reminder that even the most practical objects can be full of life.
