Cast iron orange tree doorstop – American Folk Art – hand-painted – United States (attributed) – mid 20th century Decorative cast iron doorstop modelled as a fruit-laden orange tree in a planter, executed in a colourful American Folk Art style. With its bold modelling, stylised foliage and vibrant hand-painted finish, the piece embodies the charm of traditional folk-art design. The sculptural form combines practicality with decorative appeal, making it equally suitable as a functional doorstop or as a country house display object. The surviving original paint, rich surface texture and well-developed patina enhance its authentic character. Age-related wear, oxidation and paint loss contribute to the visual appeal and testify to decades of use. Height: 28 cm. Width: 16 cm. Weight: approximately 6 kg Good vintage condition with attractive original paint remnants and a well-developed patina. Surface wear, oxidation and minor imperfections are consistent with age and contribute to the character of the piece. Please refer to the photographs as they form part of the description.
