Our distinctive, solid brass Doctor's Door Knocker has a personality all of its own. At Jim Lawrence, we believe that the exterior of your home is as important as the inside because it serves as an indicator of the style within. Our Doctor’s knocker does just that – instantly adding character to any door.
This knocker is a classic design is inspired by Georgian door knockers that were popular in the early 1800s. Door knockers have been used since Greek times when it was considered more polite for visitors to announce their presence with a loud rap on the door, rather than yelling. For centuries door knockers were made out of cast iron, but in the Georgian period brass became more affordable and fashionable. The Doctor’s door knocker developed its own unique style supposedly so that people could identify the home of a doctor.
The Doctor’s Door Knocker is made from solid brass that is naturally non-corrosive and is antiqued to give it a subtle, aged appearance.
- It is fitted vertically and features a decorative, s-shaped rod with rounded strike plate.
- Pair it with our antiqued brass door and window furniture to create a uniform look around your home.
