An English Late Victorian period silvered door stop from circa 1880-1900 showcasing a dog depicted in profile. This English Late Victorian period silvered door stop, dating from circa 1880-1900, is a captivating blend of utility and artistry. Depicting a dog in profile, the door stop exhibits a charming sense of life and personality. Obediently seated on a sturdy base, the dog’s head is thoughtfully turned backward, as if awaiting a command, and its tail is neatly tucked, signaling calm and composed demeanor. Every element of this piece, from the dog’s alert posture to its finely detailed features, is rendered with meticulous care. The silvered finish, with its soft sheen, adds a touch of sophistication that complements both traditional and contemporary interiors. Being hollow on the back, the door stop is designed with practicality in mind, and a maker’s stamp attests to its authenticity and quality craftsmanship. In a home setting, this door stop is not only a functional asset— adeptly holding doors ajar— but also a delightful decorative element. It could greet visitors in an entryway, allowing the front door to remain invitingly open, or be a charming and unexpected detail in a living room or study, where it can hold open a door to create an inviting flow between rooms.
