Description: An original quality large, antique cast iron door knocker. Dating from the early 1800’s this is a fine example of an antique front door knocker, something of this nature would’ve only ever been produced in very small quantities. Weighing 2 kilos the handle takes the form of a rams head with stylised foliage scroll work running down the length. You can really see the quality in the details, like the hand made artisan feel to the strike and bolts. In all likelihood the handle would have had a round backplate to it, unfortunately this part is no longer with the door knocker, however the original strike plate has survived.

Condition: Very good. The cast iron surface has been sensitively cleaned, revealing the layers of original old paint and patina which adds to its charm.
