Item Details

Description: Large, quality antique cast iron door knocker. This hardware piece was designed to celebrate Arther Wellesley, the 1st Duke of Wellington, following his victory of Napoleon. The clenched fist represents the Duke’s hand holding a Field Marshal’s baton and the laurel wreath symbolises victory and triumph. Later painted in a naive style which adds to its charm.


Condition: Very good. The strike plate is a newer replacement, hand painted to match the door knocker. At the back of the hand is a square of metal that protrudes, this could be recessed into the door to anchor the knocker in place along with the nut and bolt,
