Description
The casting displays excellent period detail, including the cuff decoration, fingernails, knuckles, and the spherical element held within the hand. The reverse retains its original mounting hardware, making this an appealing example for both collectors and restoration projects.
The interior of the casting is marked with the number "3," believed to be a foundry or pattern number rather than a manufacturer identification.
Hand-form door knockers have long been favored for their symbolism of welcome and hospitality and remain highly sought after among collectors of architectural salvage, Victorian hardware, and historic home furnishings.
An attractive and authentic decorative object equally suited for installation, display, or inclusion in an architectural collection.
