This listing is for PAIR of very heavy ANTIQUE style, fox head PORTER doorstops…..made in England. Stunning Art Deco Fox-Head door stops…..Striking English design from the 1880’S Solid brass In very good condition with a beautiful patina. Each is heavyweight and features a carved brass fox head at the base with Porters handle (which prevents the user stooping to floor level).
Antique brass "Fox head” doorstop / hall porter as these are referred to by many. Made in England.
An early 20th century iconic brass doorstop. This typical, useful and beautiful doorstop usually found in a Country House or Hunting Estate in England is of great quality and wonderful design.
These were very popular in England, especially during the Victorian era. There are several versions of this doorstop. Later versions had feet under them, or a cast iron base. On some later versions, the head and base were made completely of cast iron, with the exception of the whip, which is always made of brass. Peerage England produced a lot of these, with cast iron bases, from the early 1900’s. Victorian fox head door stop.
A great, functional collectors piece. ONE IS GREAT….TWO IS “………….”!!
I have a pair of Peerage England fox heads and whip porters doorstops listed at this time on a separate listing.
These would make an excellent STATEMENT PIECE in your home or special gift for a special family member or special occasion event.
