A charming mid-century folk art penguin doorstop, hand-cast in reconstituted stone and retaining its original hand-painted finish in black, white and orange.
Wonderfully simple in design, the penguin has an appealing naïve character with hand-painted eyes, stylised wings and orange beak and feet, standing upon an integral rocky base. The weathered surface and gentle age-related wear add to its authentic vintage charm.
Both practical and decorative, this substantial penguin makes an excellent doorstop while also serving as a delightful decorative object for a hallway, children’s room, conservatory or country house interior.
A scarce and characterful piece of mid-century folk art with timeless appeal.
