just a wild guess, but could it be some type of floor drain screen?

interesting

 

[duggap]

I just wonder if they could be a pair of stirrups, somewhat like above?

 

[Diggin-N-Dumps]

My first thought was Stirrups too...But Those things look way to heavy to be on a horse and the top of it is unique to any stirrups Ive seen.

If they were some sort of poot peg or stirrup, I would thing they went to a train or a carriage or something of that nature

Cool find thou!

First thing I thought as well... BUT..
they look awfully sharp on edges.

Spanish influence style also.

This next one is called

spanish-portuguese-filigree-stirrup.
I'm no expert on Spanish history, but there was a lot of Arabian and Moroccan influence in Spain, way back in history, which is about my total knowledge on the subject.
I expect that Spanish riding was heavily influenced by that association, and of course Spain first captured Mexico etc.

These are 18th century Moroccan stirrups, and finally, here is a picture of a fancy Arabian saddle.

Looks to me like you have the first pair of that type of stirrup I've ever seen.

Looking at "Ottoman stirrups" you get allot examples of this style of stirrups. https://www.google.com/search?q=ott...ei=rQXcVLf0OIWeNrmEgZAN&ved=0CB0QsAQ#imgdii=_

Right, looking at Ottoman stirrups these are very similar: Garth Vincent - Antique Arms and Armour > A Pair of Stirrups

Wow thank you all very much. I never would have guesses but now I'm convinced. They're stirrups.
I too thought the corners would be to sharp for a horse.

 

[unclemac]

perhaps sharp corners act as spurs?
