A Vintage Cast Iron Painted Laurel and Hardy Decorative Figure

A vintage cast iron decorative figure or doorstop depicting the comedy duo Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. The object is a single-sided sand casting with a hollow reverse, a technique typically used for doorstops and mantel ornaments. The design features Stan Laurel leaning on a broomstick while Oliver Hardy stands below tipping his bowler hat. Both figures are mounted on an integral, stepped rectangular base. The piece retains traces of an original polychrome painted finish in black, white, and red. There are no visible maker marks, foundry stamps, or inscriptions on either the front or the reverse of the object.
