Wonderful Old Handmade Penguin Doorstop with Alligator Paint vintage tea chest but doing it in suchThis could be my very favorite old wooden cutout doorstop ever. 1. It's a penguin. 2. The flapping position of the flippers. 3. The feet. 4. The paint job, including this great painterly use of gray for outlining and shading the belly. And 5, perhaps best of all, the alligatoring of the creamy white paint and just terrific overall wear and aging. Really a warm, charming, satisfying thing. 7 3 4" tall x 8" wide x 4 1 4" d. Great structural condition.
