A rounded, banded stone body topped with a tall, square cap, finished in a crisp pepper-and-salt speckle of grey-white stone flecked with darker mineral spots. The effect is lively and tactile, like granite that has weathered outdoors for years. A rustic iron handle arches behind the cap, aged to a deep brown, and a faint rust-orange mark on the lower body shows where the iron has left its trace over time.
Heavy enough to hold a door open and handsome enough to leave out as sculpture, it suits a porch, entry, patio, garden path or shelf. At 6" in diameter and 12.5" tall, the compact footprint tucks into corners and beside doorways, and the speckled texture reads beautifully against plaster, brick and wood.

This vintage speckled stone doorstop has a banded rounded body, a tall square cap and a rusted iron handle. It measures 6 inches in diameter and 12.5 inches tall, with a small rust-colored mark on the lower body. It works as a doorstop or as a porch, garden or patio accent, and is available from DE-COR in Pasadena with trade pricing for designers.
Q: Will the rust mark my floor?
A: There is a small rust-colored mark on the lower body from the aged iron handle, and iron can transfer rust to light floors, especially when damp. We recommend a felt pad or a small mat under the base on wood, tile or stone floors, and keeping it dry indoors. Outdoors, the rust is part of the weathered look.
Q: Does it look good grouped with similar pieces?
A: Yes. Weighty stone accents look best in odd numbers, such as one on a shelf, or three at different heights along a path or beside a door. The speckled texture pairs well with plaster, brick, clay pots and greenery. This piece also stands well on its own.
