About the Item
American Folk Art Door Stop in the form of a Sitting Cat,
Early 20th Century
This charming doorstop, crafted in the early 20th century, embodies the spirit of American Folk Art. Depicting a black and white cat seated, the piece exudes a sense of whimsy and practicality.
The cat is cast in black iron, its form simplified and stylized. Distinctive white markings highlight the ears, nose, lower face, shoulders, and the tip of the curled tail. This contrasting color scheme creates a graphic impact, drawing the viewer's eye to the playful pose.
The base of the doorstop adds a further layer of visual interest. Cast in green, it features a molded design reminiscent of grass, providing a natural setting for the feline figure. The rim is embellished with a decorative scrollwork pattern, adding a touch of elegance to the overall composition.
This American Folk Art doorstop is a delightful example of the genre's focus on functionality and artistic expression.
