Functional Art with a Story

More than just a doorstop, Keep Me Posts are functional art. Their captivating beauty makes them a stunning addition to any room, whether used as a doorstop or displayed on its own.

Bring a touch of history and conversation into your home with a Keep Me Post. Choose a piece that speaks to you and let its story unfold.

  • Material: Jarrah & railway iron
  • Dimensions: H 38 cm, W 17 cm, D 17 cm
  • Weight: 8 kg

The timber is Australian Jarrah, a very dense and durable wood that is part of the Eucalyptus family.

Jarrah was imported and used along with other Australian hardwoods in late nineteenth century New Zealand for commercial and industrial construction.

The history of the timber has been retained by leaving any existing bolt holes and surface marks, while exposing and polishing the beautiful end grain.

Both the Jarrah and the old iron have been cleaned, sanded, and hand finished by applying a coating of natural beeswax.

Each Keep Me Post has a felt pad on the base to protect any surface you choose to put it on.
