Antique Cast Iron Boston Terrier Doorstop Appraisal
Category: Decorative Arts
Description
Antique cast iron and painted doorstop in the form of a Boston Terrier dog.
Appraisal Report
This is a charming example of an antique cast iron doorstop featuring a Boston Terrier. These were popular decorative and functional items in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Condition is key to value, and while some paint loss is common and expected, significant chipping or damage would decrease the value. The paint appears somewhat worn but largely intact from the images. The design is also a factor, and this Boston Terrier is a well-rendered and desirable form. Assuming it is a solid, original casting with no repairs or significant hidden damage, the value falls within this range.
