FAQs

A door porter, also known as a doorstop, is a heavy decorative object used to hold interior or exterior doors open, gaining widespread popularity in British homes during the 19th century.

Victorian door porters were crafted from molten iron poured into sand moulds, resulting in solid, weighted metalwork with detailed relief decoration and integrated handles.

Authentic period pieces feature subtle seam lines from two-part sand moulds, natural surface oxidisation or historic patina, and substantial weight relative to modern hollow reproductions.

Positioned beside an entryway door, near a fireplace hearth, or displayed on low shelving, these cast iron objects provide functional utility and historic textural contrast.

Dust the surface regularly with a dry brush or cloth and apply a thin layer of microcrystalline wax to guard against moisture and rust formation.
