Description
This shaggy Highland cow door stop settles at the foot of the door with its horns raised and a long brown coat tumbling down over its eyes. It is modelled lying down with its legs tucked beneath it, a rounded muzzle at the front, two small dark eyes peeping through the fringe and a pair of ears poking out sideways beneath the horns. The coat is a warm brown, while the smooth muzzle and horns are a darker brown that brings the face forward. It stands 26cm tall and 26cm wide and is 30cm deep, a generous size that is easy to spot and sits squarely on the floor.
A door stop earns its place wherever a door tends to swing shut: the sitting room, a bedroom you like to leave ajar, a hallway, a study or the back door through to the kitchen. Set it against the door and it keeps things open, and it gives everyone a reason to smile as they pass. This cow suits a country cottage, a farmhouse kitchen or any room that leans towards wool throws, tartan and natural textures, and it looks just as at home in a modern flat that could do with a little character.
It is a freestanding piece, so there are no fixings and nothing to fit: simply rest it on the floor where you need it. Keep it indoors and away from wet boots and puddles, give the long coat a gentle shake and a light going over with a soft dry brush now and then to keep it fluffy and free of dust, and wipe any marks from the muzzle with a lightly damp cloth. We love it by the front door to greet guests, or tucked beside a tartan throw for a cosy country corner. Wrapped up, it makes a cheerful gift that will be useful every day.
