A charming vintage Noah’s Ark figural doorstop, produced in Taiwan and imported to the United States by Midwest Importers, a well-known distributor of decorative cast iron and home décor objects during the late 20th century.
This richly detailed piece features the ark surrounded by a whimsical assortment of animals, including lions, elephants, camels, giraffe, birds, and livestock. Crafted in solid cast iron and finished with hand-applied polychrome paint, it offers substantial weight, texture, and visual appeal.
Equally suitable as a functional doorstop or as a decorative accent for a shelf, mantel, or entryway, this piece works beautifully in eclectic, Americana, folk art, or storybook-inspired interiors.
