Gorgeous Victorian Brass Dog Hound Door Stop
A Very Fine Antique Brass and Steel Doorstop
A Seated Hound or Retriever.
c. mid 19th century.
Although this is a 'known design', it is a much less commonly seen example.....and never before have I found one with such a perfect antique patina as this.
Normally the subject of overzealous and excessive polishing over many decades, these finely detailed and beautifully cast doorstops are often reduced to vague suggestions of what they once were. Not so here!
The seated hound, with expressive face, is beautifully rendered, the ruffles and waves of his fur still crisp and showing fine detail and the knuckled feet and claws resting on beautifully stylised leaves and foliage. The twisting handle again finely cast with a flowing acanthus design.
Exceptional colour, with a soft, low sheen and old black paint, partially rubbed, to the iron base.
Simply one of the nicest examples of its kind that you're ever likely to find. Email or call for any further information on this item. We give great attention to each and every item we select and offer for sale, priding ourselves on the accuracy of our descriptions and research. We are very happy to provide complete and exacting condition reports (together with further photographs, where necessary) and encourage buyers to request this information prior to purchase.
Accepted payment methods are via paypal, bank transfer, personal cheque or cash.
Viewing of any item in person, prior to purchase, is always welcomed by appointment.
