Item Details

This is a charming antique lion doorstop, an English cast iron figurative door keeper, dating to the early Victorian period, circa 1850. Delightfully characterful and evocative of heraldic forms, this doorstop brings period appeal and weighty practicality.


Recumbent lion motif with naïve execution and medieval overtones — a distinctive decorative presence
Cast iron form with satisfying heft, weighing in at 4.07kg, perfect for securing internal doors
Displays a rich, mottled brown patina, enhanced by subtle weathering commensurate with age
Sculpted with emphasis on character and bold form, suggestive of 19th century folk artistry
Well suited to country cottages, period townhouses or traditional interiors
Stable base for reliable placement across wood, tile or carpeted floors


This antique lion doorstop is a delightful example of Victorian decorative utility, and offers both form and function in equal measure. Delivered ready for the home.
