Antique Brass Door Knockers

‘Aged Brass’

The finish on our antique brass door knockers is called ‘aged brass.’ Imagine an old, tarnished piece of brass that’s been cleaned up. It has a lovely warm golden-brown look with some of the old tarnish lurking in the hard-to-reach places! We achieve this beautiful, natural aged colour using a chemical-free fuming process. As it’s a natural process, the tone and depth of the final colour may vary slightly from knocker to knocker. We add a clear protective sealant that prevents the door knocker from ageing further. It also gives protection against acid rain and salt air. If you’d prefer your knocker to continue to age, we can add a clear layer of wax instead of the sealant.

We recommend wiping down with a soft cloth periodically and using a toothbrush to remove any stubborn dirt.

Our door knockers in aged brass are a good match for other door furniture in either satin brass or antique brass. The colour suits natural wood or coloured painted doors with a warm tone.

We currently offer our whole collection in aged brass.

Useful Information

Fitting

Our antique brass door knockers have a discreet and secure surface mounted fitting. There will be no visible screws and you will not need to drill a hole through your door. Easy to install, each knocker is supplied with screws that are suitable for wooden and solid core composite doors.

Made by hand

Our products are made by skilled artisans using traditional techniques. Each door knocker is cast in two or more parts then expertly welded and engraved. The beauty of crafting with traditional methods is that the intricate detail of each design can be realised. Every door knocker we forge cools down with little idiosyncrasies, that’s why it’s so special.

Sustainability

Our products are packaged in a wooden keepsake box. In fact, every part of our packaging is designed to be recycled or repurposed. A significant advantage of hand casting products in brass is that the remnants from each cast or any imperfections can be melted down and reused. We do not hold a large amount of stock across all our finishes, instead each door knocker is completed to order at our workshop in Devon, UK.
