FAQs

Cast iron door porters, or doorstops, became popular in the early nineteenth century across Britain to hold open heavy timber doors, frequently manufactured with sporting, heraldic, or animal themes.

These items were manufactured by pouring molten iron into sand moulds, resulting in heavy, solid objects with pronounced surface textures and distinct casting seam lines.

Authentic period pieces exhibit smooth wear on the contact surfaces of the base, natural oxidisation, precise detail in the casting, and slotted fasteners rather than modern Phillips screws.

Position the doorstop beside entryways, display it inside a fireplace hearth, or use it as a decorative paperweight on a desk or low shelving unit.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft, dry brush and avoid washing with water to prevent rust; apply a thin coat of clear microcrystalline wax to protect the iron from humidity.
