The heyday of cast iron was the late-19th century, when decorative fountains, benches, and welcome mats made of the metal were omnipresent outdoor accessories. The Ornate Cast Iron Rectangular Door Mat from British manufacturer Willow & Stone is true to that time, with scrollwork and an antique finish designed to withstand the elements. The 23.5" x 13.5" mat sits on rubber feet so that it won’t scratch floors and retails for £29 (about $57), plus shipping. Order online at www.willowandstone.co.uk.
