ITEM DESCRIPTION -- VIRGINIA METALCRAFTERS Williamsburg Brass DOORSTOP This is a magnificent heavy solid cast brass doorstop from Virginia Metalcrafters. This is their Hessian Soldier doorstop that is sometimes called the "striding man". It was originally designed by Max Rieg, a German silversmith who was hired by the Colonial Williamsburg company during the early days of their Williamsburg restoration. Rieg designed this Hessian soldier after an actual colonial design and it was used for cast iron andirons as well as brass doorstops. When the prestigious company, VIrginia Metalcrafters, took over the manufacture of all the items licensed by the Colonial Williamsburg restoration, they began to make the Hessian soldier. Please read our eBay Guide on Virginia Metalcrafters for more information on this important American company - just click on this link to go to that eBay guide. This brilliant doorstop is beautifully crafted of heavy cast brass, has a strong and unique form and silhouette and would make an exceptional addition to your decor or to any collection of doorstops. This is an important addition to any collection of American doorstops -- one of the most important doorstops ever made by Virginia Metalcrafters (who recently shut down after more than 100 years in business ... so their work is getting more and more valuable as it gets scarcer).
