Our handmade doorstops are as practical as they are pleasing: weighted, tactile, and crafted with meticulous care to bring warmth and character to your space.
Made by Gem of Tightrope Knots in her Cambridgeshire workshop, each doorstop is the product of hours of patient, skilled work. Gem carefully measures, loops and twists each strand into rope before shaping it into a substantial, beautifully finished doorstop.
What makes these doorstops truly remarkable is the endangered craft at their heart: rope making. Through the careful blending of dead stock yarns and precise control of tension and fill, Gem creates pieces with real presence and individuality. Both decorative and structural, ensuring each doorstop is built to last.
These are more than humble household objects – they are a celebration of a disappearing skill. Every single one is unique. For those who value craftsmanship, they are pieces that marry purpose with beauty.
