Painted Cast Iron Figural Lady Door Stop

Painted Cast Iron Figural Lady Door Stop Antique doorstop cast iron doorstop
In wonderfully aged condition, the hand painted polychrome doorstop with scrolled pedestal base surmounted by a scantily clad lady, naked from the waist up, her arms draped over her head in a relaxed pose.

The loss and flaking to the paintwork is evident but only brings more beauty to an already highly desirable object that has a good weight and is unusually tall for a doorstop.

Although mankind had thought of various ways to keep doorways open prior to Victorian times, the way in which we now expect a door stop to look and function today was down to a 19th century African American inventor named Osbourn Dorsey who came up with the design on December 10, 1878.

As much as a decorative object as a functional doorstop, and with a the feel of a ship’s figurehead in many respects, this lady is sure to attract attention whether from floor or table.
