DESCRIPTION There is something about a decorative door knocker that is instantly inviting. Well worn by use and made from aged metals that have been fondly hammered into shape, it heralds a weary visitor or much anticipated guest and signifies a place of refuge for a well-earned rest or chance for refreshment. A characterful door knocker says something about the dweller within and lends personality to your home.As door knockers became more elaborate over time, many designs were inspired by mythology and religion and the British were particularly fond of The Lion Head door knocker. Signifying fortitude, security, dignity and authority, the lion has been used as a patriotic symbol in Britain for many years and as a result, thousands of Lion Head door knockers were produced in the early 19th Century.Our Lion's Head, with it’s mouth gripping the ring, is made from solid, natural sand cast brass that brings out the finest details in a stunning relief that will stand proud on any style of door as it suits a cottage setting as much as a stately home. In our manufacturing, we love to celebrate the beauty of honest, natural metals and felt that our antiqued brass was the perfect finish for this knocker as it brings out the very best of the underlying patina of aged brass that we know will look wonderful gracing your front door for many years. PRODUCT INFORMATION Dimensions: 9.00W x 16.00H x 4.00D (cm) Additional Information: Bolt through door 9.00 (cm) long. FINISH Antiqued Brass: beautiful, natural finish produced by gently distressing the brass to create a soft patina that is then treated with antiquing solution to speed up the natural tarnishing process and create a lovely aged look that will darken naturally over time. Antiqued Brass is an incredibly versatile finish that works well with any colourway and natural building materials and looks equally at home in a modern property as it does a period one.
