Victorian Cast iron Grave Marker – Numbered 499
This evocative Victorian era cast iron grave marker, bearing the raised number 499, is a rare survivor from 19th century burial traditions. Such markers were commonly used in municipal cemeteries, churchyards, and pauper burial grounds where individual headstones were not provided. The number corresponds to a cemetery record rather than a name, making pieces like this both historically important and profoundly moving.
Cast in solid iron, the marker features an oval top with deeply raised numerals and a long tapered spike designed to be driven into the earth. Its untouched surface displays a genuine rusted patina developed over more than a century, giving it a somber yet beautiful sense of age.
