Antique Hubley French Flower Basket Doorstop with Original Paint

A captivating antique Hubley cast iron flower basket doorstop, in its original hand-painted surface, carrying all the romance and honest wear of time. Produced by the renowned Hubley Manufacturing Company, this highly collectible piece features an exquisite "French Flower Basket" design, brimming with a lush, sculpted arrangement of full-blown roses, delicate daisies, and vibrant field flowers. The cream basket showcases a beautifully detailed woven texture, the deep pink and red roses, golden yellow daisies, and sky-blue accents remain wonderfully distinct. At the top is a pretty lavender bow.

The original paint is especially desirable, as most surviving examples show heavy loss or repainting. Here, the surface remains honest and intact enough to preserve its story, while still carrying that beautifully weathered patina that makes Hubley doorstops so sought after.  While perfectly functional for holding open a heavy door, this also makes a striking statement styled as a sculptural bookend on a library shelf, or nestled into a sunlit conservatory window display alongside your topiaries and flowering plants. Complimentary U.S. shipping included.
