Description from the seller

Vintage Cast Iron Golfer Doorstop / Bookend - Hand-Painted Edwardian Style Figurine

Up for auction is a charming vintage cast iron doorstop (or bookend) depicting a classic gentleman golfer in traditional Edwardian/Victorian attire.
The figure is beautifully hand-painted, featuring a vibrant red vest, white plus-fours (baggy golf trousers), bright yellow socks, and a matching red cap.
He is depicted in a classic, relaxed stance, leaning elegantly on his golf club over a green grass-textured base.

### Technical & Construction Details:
- **Material:** Solid cast iron (heavy, durable metalware).
- **Manufacturing Technique:** Traditional sand-casting method, clearly indicated by the characteristic textured, hollow (concave) reverse side.
- **Backing:** Flat profile on the back, designed specifically to sit flush against a door or wall surface. It is coated with a uniform cream-colored protective paint layer to prevent rust.

Dimensions : 25 cm × 12.5 cm × 7.5 cm i

Condition :

Good vintage condition with a beautiful, authentic patina. The structural integrity of the cast iron is perfect with no cracks or repairs. The hand-painted surface shows minor, honest signs of age and wear (such as small paint flecks/chips on the white trousers and vest edges), which strongly supports its vintage character and authenticity. Traces of the original gloss/satin finish remain highly visible on the vest and cap. Traces of light surface dust present in the crevices.

The product will be professionally packed and sent safely to your address by local post.
The pictures of the product are made with the highest possible resolution, precisely to capture possible small defects (small scratches, stains, defect), the pictures are part of the product description.
