Description
This pumpkin door stop brings a cheerful harvest shape to the foot of a door, finished in a deep rust with a raised bobble knit effect over every plump segment. It is made from plastic, so that cosy hand-knitted look is all in the surface texture, and a curving stem in an antique gold tone rises from the top to finish the design. The pumpkin stands 16.2cm tall, 23cm across and 21.7cm deep, a squat, rounded shape that sits low on the floor beside an open door without looking bulky.
We like it in a hallway, holding open the door to a living room, bedroom or kitchen, where the warm rust colour sits happily against wooden floors, stone flags and neutral rugs. It is just as good off the floor: set it on a mantelpiece, a sideboard or a deep windowsill and it becomes a decoration in its own right, ready to sit among candles, dried leaves and woven baskets when the evenings draw in. Because the rust is a deep, earthy shade rather than a bright orange, it suits a calm, natural scheme as well as a more playful seasonal display, and it looks at home long after pumpkin season has passed.
It is made from plastic, with the bobble texture running right round the pumpkin and the stem rising from a gold-toned crown at the top. Care is simple: dust it with a soft dry cloth, use a soft brush to lift dust from between the bobbles, and wipe away any marks with a damp cloth before letting it dry. Sitting at floor level, it will gather a little dust, so a quick wipe now and then keeps the rust looking fresh. It makes an easy present for anyone who loves to dress their home for the changing seasons, and a ribbon tied round the stem is all the wrapping it needs.
