Description
This charming figural doorstop is cast from heavy-gauge iron and depicts a whimsical family of three stacked teddy bears. The figures are finished in a light tan polychrome paint, featuring hand-painted red ribbon accents around their necks. The group is set upon a decorative, dark-green painted base which includes an embossed oval cartouche on the front face, though the specific maker’s mark is partially obscured by age. The piece is designed for functional domestic use, featuring a substantial integral metal wedge extending from the rear to secure a door. This item is a classic example of mid-century decorative hardware, often utilised in nurseries or bedrooms during the period. Measurements: Approximately 115mm (H) x 85mm (W) x 105mm (D).
