Door Stop Wooden Dormouse Hand Carved

A small hand-carved wooden door stop with the quiet charm of a woodland creature. The dormouse form brings softness and character to a doorway, while the sloped base slips neatly beneath a door when you want the room to stay open.

A little creature at the threshold

• The dormouse is carved in a crouched pose, with rounded ears, a small dark eye and a gently lifted head.
• The pale, washed finish lets the wood grain and carved texture show through.
• Its wedge shape keeps the function simple, practical and easy to understand at a glance.
• It feels warmer and more homely than a plain rubber stop, especially in cottage, rustic or woodland-inspired spaces.
• Placed by a sitting-room, bedroom or study door, it adds a small sculptural detail where you least expect one.

Carved Jempines wood from Indonesia

It is made from Jempines wood, an Indonesian hardwood, and individually hand-carved by skilled artisans in Bali. The hand-carved finish means small differences in grain, tone and detail are part of its character, rather than flaws.

How to place and use it

Slide the tapered end beneath the door until it holds. As with any wooden door stop, it works best when the door, floor surface and gap underneath suit its shape.

On delicate or highly polished floors, lift and place it rather than dragging it. Keep the wood dry, and wipe with a soft cloth when needed.

The dormouse in the home

Dormice are often associated with quiet woodland corners, nests and seasonal stillness, which makes this carved form feel especially suited to calm, lived-in rooms. Here, the animal is stylised rather than detailed like a natural-history model: rounded, simple and tactile, with enough expression to make it feel companionable. As a door stop, it turns a practical floor object into a small piece of everyday folk-inspired décor.

Size and details

This piece weighs 70 g. It is a single hand-carved dormouse door stop made from Jempines wood in Indonesia.

A thoughtful housewarming gift

It suits someone who loves animals, natural materials or small rustic details at home. A gentle choice for a housewarming, a country cottage, or a room that feels better with a little humour by the door.

Common questions

Will the carving look exactly like the photo?
Not exactly. Each piece is hand-carved, so the grain, finish and small carved details will vary slightly.

Is it suitable for every door?
Door stops depend on the gap beneath the door and the floor surface. This wedge style is intended to sit under a door, but very low-clearance doors may not have enough space.
