A Rare 18th Century Georgian Brass Doorstop from the Reign of King George III
A superb and rare solid brass bell-shaped doorstop of stately proportions from the reign of King George III, Circa 1770.
The large oval handle joins the baluster ringed column down to the lead-weighted bell-shaped base.
Examples such as this are extremely rare and do not often come onto the market.
Provenance – Ston Easton Park. An English country house built in the 18th century. It lies near the village of Ston Easton, Somerset. It is a Grade I listed building and the grounds are listed Grade II on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.
The current house was built around 1750 to 1760 on the site of a Tudor building. The architect may have been Thomas Paty. It was occupied by the descendants of the commissioning owner, John Hippisley-Coxe, until 1956. Since then owners including William Rees-Mogg and Peter Smedley have been involved in restoring the house.
Lovely original country house condition with age patinated surfaces. Marks, dinks and knocks in line with age and daily use.
