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.
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.

A door porter, or long-handled doorstop, was designed during the nineteenth century to hold heavy internal doors open without requiring the user to stoop.

Victorian door porters were typically sand-cast from brass or cast iron, frequently featuring a hollow base filled with lead to provide sufficient counterweight.

Authentic nineteenth-century examples display seam lines from traditional casting methods, natural surface wear on the handle, and genuine oxidisation or verdigris in carved recesses.

Position the piece adjacent to a doorway or alongside a fireplace hearth to introduce historical texture and warm metallic tones to modern interior schemes.

Dust regularly with a dry cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners to preserve the natural aged patina and historical oxidisation.
