FAQs

Heavy cast iron doorstops and door porters gained popularity during the 19th century in British and American homes to keep heavy interior doors propped open against draughts.

These items were typically produced using sand-casting methods, pouring molten iron into moulds to achieve intricate sculptural details and substantial weight.

Authentic pieces exhibit rough sand-cast textures, wear patterns from age, heavier physical weight, and often feature historical motifs such as animals, heraldry, or floral designs.

Placed functionally near an entryway or utilised purely as a sculptural paperweight on a desk, cast iron pieces add industrial texture and historical weight to contemporary spaces.

Preserve cast iron by keeping it dry to prevent rust, dusting with a soft brush, and occasionally applying a microcrystalline wax to protect the metal finish.
