Antique Cast Iron Horse Door Stop Statue / Ornament

A  gorgeous antique horse door stop.  A heavy sturdy item that will keep a door open even in the wind.  The old casting has picked up immense detail which is always a sign of quality - beautiful casting can be seen in the horse's features, tail, mane and hair on the feet.
Condition : Great antique condition with wear commensurate with age and use.  It has been newly painted - can also be painted all one colour like gold ... just an idea.
Weighs 1455g unpacked.
Height :  9.5inches/240mm / 24 cm
Length:   9 inches/230mm / 23 cm
Footnote : 
Antique or vintage items have been used and as most antique dealers would say "PRE-LOVED", they will show signs of wear which is  commensurate with age.  Now this will appeal to some as it authenticates it's age.  
I will always try to list all faults found with each object to the best of my ability and photos form part of the illustrative narrative.
All vintage used items are sold "as is" . If in doubt please ask questions before you make your purchase, I am always happy to answer and send additional photos if required.
