Door Stop, Hand Carved Gecko

A small gecko rests along the wedge, turning a practical wooden door stop into a little piece of floor-level sculpture. The pale Jempines wood brings a warm, natural look, while the carved shape adds quiet character to a hallway, bedroom or garden-room doorway.

A gecko shape with a useful purpose

• The long wedge slips under a door, while the gecko sits raised along the top like a creature pausing in the sun.
• Its softly weathered pale finish suits rustic, coastal and relaxed natural interiors.
• The carved eye, curled tail and low body give it personality without making it feel fussy.
• Wood feels gentler and warmer in a room than a plain rubber or metal door stop.
• It is decorative enough to leave out, rather than something to hide behind the door.

Hand-carved in Bali

This piece is individually hand-carved by skilled artisans in Bali, Indonesia. Small variations in the carved line, surface tone and finish are part of its charm, giving each gecko its own character.

Where it works best

Use it where you want a door held open with a little more warmth and humour: beside a bedroom door, in a cottage-style hallway, or near a patio room where the gecko form feels especially at home. Because every floor and door gap is different, place it gently and check that it sits securely before leaving the door open.

The gecko in the room

Geckos are familiar warm-climate creatures, often noticed clinging to walls, resting in shaded corners or moving quietly at dusk. Here, that natural low shape is turned into a simple carved silhouette, with the body stretched along the wedge and the tail curling back on itself. It keeps the design playful but still understated, so it reads as a small animal sculpture as much as a household object.

Care for the wood and floor

Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth, then let the wood dry naturally. Avoid soaking it or leaving it in prolonged damp. If using it on a delicate floor, lift it rather than dragging it, and consider placing it where grit cannot gather underneath.

Common questions

Will it hold every door?
That depends on the door gap, floor surface and the weight of the door. Place it under the door and check that it grips securely before relying on it.

Will each one look exactly the same?
No. As it is individually hand-carved, small differences in carving, grain and finish are expected.
