This Victorian style doorstop takes the form of a sculpted eagle head atop a stylised curved feather base, sitting on a round plinth. Made from cast iron, the piece displays a dark bronze finish complemented by a gold-painted eye, with the heavy dome base finished in black and red oxide alongside gold highlights and a moulded scroll decoration. Fine feathered detailing runs throughout the sculpture, paired with an S-shaped design that allows for ease of lifting. Practical for everyday use in a gentleman's library or beside the front door, this item secures doors efficiently while functioning as a decorative desk accessory or mantel ornament. Its substantial construction makes it suitable for holding doors open against draughts in both traditional and contemporary interiors. The object stands solidly on its circular base, showing its original paint finish still intact across the entire metal surface.

FAQs

Cast iron doorstops, historically referred to as door porters, gained widespread popularity during the 19th century as both functional hardware and decorative home accents.

Traditional doorstops were crafted by pouring molten iron into sand moulds, resulting in solid, heavy objects with detailed surface relief.

Authentic items typically display smooth casting seams, gentle surface oxidisation, age-appropriate paint wear, and substantial physical weight relative to their size.

A cast iron doorstop can be positioned beside an entry door, utilised as a heavy bookend on study shelving, or styled as a standalone sculptural object on a hearth.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft, dry cloth and apply a thin layer of clear paste wax periodically to protect the iron from moisture.
