FAQs

Figural brass door stops became widely popular during the Victorian era as coal fires necessitated keeping doors open for ventilation, leading manufacturers to produce heavy cast metal figures in architectural and classical designs.

These pieces are typically made from cast brass, often filled with iron or lead weights to provide the necessary heft, and cast in sand moulds before being hand-finished.

Authentic period pieces feature heavy sand-cast construction, distinct casting seams, genuine age-related patination, and are often unweighted iron cores encapsulated in thick brass casings.

Use it functionally to prop open doors in hallways or studies, or place it on a deep window sill or bookshelf as a sculptural object of interest.

Maintain the metal by dusting regularly with a soft cloth and avoiding harsh chemical polishes that strip historical patina; a light application of microcrystalline wax can protect the surface.
