Description
This marble house doorstop is a small decorative accessory shaped like a pitched-roof cottage, cut from solid stone with a smooth, cool finish. The white marble carries the soft grey veining natural to the material, so each piece varies slightly in pattern and no two are quite the same. At 11cm tall and 8cm square at the base, it has real weight behind it, enough to hold an internal door steady without sliding across the floor.
The little house form gives it a playful edge while the marble keeps things grounded, making it one of those decorative accessories that works as much as an ornament as a doorstop. Set it by a hallway door, a study or a bedroom, or stand it on a shelf or windowsill when it is not on duty. The pale stone sits happily alongside painted skirting and wooden floors, and pairs well with other natural materials such as linen, oak and rattan. It suits period homes and simpler modern rooms in equal measure.
Being solid marble, this accessory is hard-wearing but the surface can mark, so wipe up spills promptly to avoid staining. Clean with a soft, damp cloth and buff dry; skip abrasive creams and acidic cleaners, which can dull the polish. A felt pad or gentle handling protects both the stone and your floors. Given a little care it will keep its looks for years, quietly earning its place as a functional piece of home decor.

Frequently Asked
Is it made from real marble?
Yes, it is cut from solid natural marble with a polished finish. The grey veining is part of the stone, so the exact pattern varies from piece to piece.
Where does it work best?
Use it to hold open a hallway, study or bedroom door, or display it on a shelf, mantel or windowsill as an ornament when not in use.
Is it heavy enough to hold a door?
The solid marble gives it good weight for its 11cm height, so it will hold most internal doors steady on carpet or hard floors.
How do I keep it clean?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and buff dry. Avoid abrasive or acidic cleaners, and mop up any spills quickly as marble can stain.
Will it scratch my floor?
The base is smooth, but adding a felt pad or handling it gently helps protect both the stone and your flooring.
