<I>Wire frame, shield</I>
ca. 1860-1940
Wire frame trellis in the shape of a shield. The trellis has two wire legs, which could be inserted into the soil to keep it upright. It is in the form of a shield with three points. Two vertical supports extend the length of the piece as well as two diagonals creating an “X” shape. At the top and bottom of the verticals are decorative shapes, and the middle has five rings attached across it starting from the left wall. This design is featured in the catalogue of M. Walker & Sons, of Philadelphia, PA as figure 35.
