Old and original Art Deco Bronze Sleeping Cat Doorstop, circa late 1800s or early 1900s. The gold paint is old and has a mellow patina. We are not sure if the gold is original or a very old repaint. It appears there is white paint under the gold, which could be a primer, or it could be the original paint, we are not sure. Given that it is made of bronze, it may not have been painted originally. The metal does not stick to a magnet. There is a scratch on the bottom that shows a copper color. The doorstop is 9-1/2″ long x 6″ wide x 3-1/2 tall and is heavy. It weighs about 7 pounds.
