Original 1925 British Art Deco Brass Door Knocker With Mail Slot �� RD No.800493 Antique Hardware

Subject & Medium:
This listing features a rare and original British Iconic Art Deco front door knocker with attached mail slot cover, crafted from solid brass and hand-painted with gold paint. Both elegant and practical, this architectural piece showcases a timeless fusion of fine craftsmanship and functional design.

Composition, Technique & the Art Deco Era:
The most striking aspect is its bold stepped motif, a hallmark of the Art Deco movement — a global design style that emerged in the 1920s and flourished into the 1930s. Art Deco celebrated luxury, modernism, and progress, often expressed through clean lines, geometric patterns, and lavish materials.

This knocker and slot cover epitomize that vision — the precise angular shapes and symmetrical design reflect the era’s fascination with order, technology, and elegance. Cast in robust brass and finished with a now-aged layer of gold paint, the piece showcases exceptional detailing and durable artistry meant to last generations.

Size:
Width: 20.2 cm
Height: 9 cm
Depth (to end of fixing bolt): 4.5 cm
This size makes it a perfect decorative focal point for any front door — stately but not overwhelming.
