About the Item

Solid, weighty, and quietly aristocratic, this late 19th-century English cast bronze doorstop is the sort of object that speaks directly to those who know the rhythm of the field. The hound—seated, muscles relaxed yet alert, head turned as if catching a distant call—captures the essence of the hunt’s finest companion: loyal, intelligent, and bred for purpose. Resting on a plinth with a crisply chased acanthus border, it carries the refinement of the country house, where every object, even the most utilitarian, bore the mark of good breeding. The bronze has mellowed to that rich, honeyed patina only decades of polish and smoke can produce. It’s the kind of piece you’d find holding the gun-room door against a winter draft—an understated symbol of fieldcraft and tradition. For anyone who knows the weight of a Purdey and the pleasure of a well-run day’s sport, it’s simply indispensable. This platform may flag this piece as priced above average—but that judgment is based on an algorithm that overlooks patina, provenance, and that certain je ne sais quoi that matters to collectors.
