The Silver Boot – Mid-20th Century Sculpture, Signed Dora Turkmall

Decorative vintage metal boot form, finely cast to replicate the details of a boot, complete with textured surface, stitched seams, and molded sole. This striking piece, likely intended as a decorative object or possibly a trade display, bears foundry and maker’s marks including “Dora”, (with globe mark), and “Turkmall” stamped to the sole, indicating manufacture by Dora Metalworks, a mid-20th-century Turkish firm known for high-quality decorative and utilitarian cast objects. Additional impressed numbers (211B, 5433) and codes appear near the rim, suggesting catalog or production references. The boot retains a beautifully aged silver-toned patina with areas of natural oxidation at the top edge, enhancing its antique character. A sculptural piece with both industrial charm and whimsical flair, this metal boot can serve as a standalone decorative accent and a conversation piece.
