Not all door stops are created equal. This hand-carved gecko is a small object that brings elegance and a touch of humour to every entrance - while also performing its most obvious task: keeping the door open. Made by Balinese woodcarvers from jempines wood, each piece is slightly different, and every piece is a small work of art in its own right.
Jempines Wood (Chinaberry) - a Noble Material with Special Origins
Jempines wood - also known as Chinaberry, botanically Melia azedarach - is an oriental timber that has been used for centuries in Asia to make decorative objects, jewellery and religious items. Its distinctive grain and natural shades give the carved surface a special texture. Light yet solid - ideal for hand-carved objects.
The Gecko as a Symbol
The gecko is an emblematic creature of Bali and Southeast Asia - a symbol of luck, renewal and positive energy in local cultures. The gecko figure on the door stop is therefore not just a functional object but also a small spiritual gesture: present at every entrance, bringing an Eastern atmosphere to the home.
Practical and Decorative at Once
The door stop's dimensions - 16 x 4 x 4.5 cm - are ideal for supporting standard doors. Heavy enough to hold the door in place, light enough to move easily. Suitable for both outdoor and indoor use. Its natural finish sits comfortably alongside parquet, tiles or carpeting.
