Antique Cast Iron Hubley 3 Dogs Singing Doorstop/Bookends

These exceptional Hubley cast iron pieces feature three singing dogs with intact original paint and patina. Delicate musical notes are subtly embossed along both base fronts, highlighting their unique character. Versatile by design, they functioned historically as either doorstops or bookends. Though unmarked, they represent the British tradition of "Door Porters"—practical implements used to maintain airflow by propping open substantial wooden doors. While doorstops were produced in numerous motifs including floral arrangements, fauna, and architectural designs, this musical canine trio stands as a particularly distinctive example in the antique cast iron collectibles market.
