Each door knocker is handcrafted, so there may be slight variations in appearance and measurements. Every piece is individually engraved with our trademark and presented in a complimentary wooden gift box.

Cosima, our woodpecker door knocker, takes its name from the Greek word for ‘order’, a fitting name for this considered design. Inspired by the woodpeckers in the woodland around our Devon studio, this design reflects our belief that beautiful objects can also be functional, as seen across our collection of unique door knockers.

The form has been carefully refined to feel balanced in the hand, with finely detailed feathers and a smooth, tactile finish. A specially designed bracket ensures the beak does not touch the door, no matter how firmly it is used.

This brass woodpecker door knocker brings a subtle touch of the countryside to your front door, combining sculptural design with everyday function.

Fitting

Cosima is a surface-mounted design, so there is no need to drill through your door. It is easy to install using a custom-designed bracket that keeps it securely in place. Suitable for both wooden and solid core composite doors, each piece comes with all necessary fixings and instructions. You can view our fitting guide here.

Our door knockers are available in a selection of finishes, making it easy to coordinate with your other door furniture and fittings.

Aged Brass – This finish is created through a natural, chemical-free patination process and finished with a clear wax. Over time, it will continue to develop a rich, warm tone. You can choose to let it age naturally or restore its original colour with a metal cleaner.

Polished Brass – A brighter, more reflective finish, hand-polished to achieve a soft shine. With time, it will naturally mellow and develop a patina if left unpolished.

Raven Black – A soft black finish with a subtle matt sheen. This finish requires very little maintenance and can be gently cleaned with a soft cloth.

Satin Silver – A cooler, lighter finish with a soft matt appearance, designed to complement pewter or satin nickel door furniture. Minimal maintenance is required.

Please note: Brass is a living material and will naturally change over time. Variations in tone and patina are part of its character and are not considered faults.
