1880-1900 Large Cherub and Dolphins Doorstop

19th century
Description

Circa 1880-1900. A top quality brass doorstop with a lot of details throughout. It has been hard to photograph the details due to reflection of light, but it is full of interesting features.

There are cherubs either side, two dolphins at the base and what appears to be a mythological face in-between, with the shapes of large birds underneath. A lion's face is at the top of the handle both front and back. The details are extraordinary, and a sign of good quality casting.

It measures 33cm in height; 19cm width of the base and the depth is 9cm, and it weighs 3.4kgs.

It is one of the finest doorstops we have had in stock for a long time. It has been polished but not lacquered.

Postage and packing for the UK mainland only is included in the price but for delivery in outside areas or abroad please contact us for a delivery quote. Thank you.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A Victorian brass door porter is a heavy cast metal weight fitted with an upright handle, designed to keep interior and exterior doors open in 19th-century homes.

They were typically cast using sand-moulding techniques in solid brass or iron with a brass casing, often assembled with a central threaded rod and weighted base.

Authentic period examples feature hand-chased surface detailing, visible mold seams, threaded iron rods inside the assembly, and natural wear patterns in recessed areas.

Position the piece on the floor beside an entryway door or place it near a fireplace hearth to serve as a sculptural decorative accent.

Dust regularly with a soft cloth and avoid abrasive chemical cleaners; gentle soap and water can be used sparingly to clean the surface without removing age-related oxidisation.
