Early 20th Century Cast Iron Boston Terrier Doorstop

About the Item

Early 20th Century Cast Iron Boston Terrier Doorstop. An iconic example of early 20th-century American cast iron craftsmanship, this Boston Terrier doorstop captures the alert posture and stout physique of the beloved breed. Made circa 1920, the figure is cast in two parts and joined with a central screw, typical of the period’s manufacturing technique. Retaining its original black and white painted finish, the surface has developed a rich patina with charming wear and flaking that enhances its antique appeal. With expressive detailing, from the upright ears to the short curled tail, this piece is both a functional object and a collectible decorative accent. Whether displayed in a traditional interior or among Americana curiosities, this cast iron terrier offers a whimsical and nostalgic presence!
