Fierce knocker

Best knocker?

More knockers

I had a successful holiday.

Knockers (Part 5)

 

My last set for a while. I've uncovered some on recent travels that I had previously only dreamt of.

Before pressing 'read more' - for full transparency - here's a list of the knockers I'd like to see someday: -

- wrecking ball to a miniature of the house
- patting hand on dog
- missile hitting the earth
- axe hitting door

Knockers (Part 4)

 


Panther. Not your regular cat family adornment.

Knockers (Part 3)

These stern beauts came from a house with multiple lion fixings.

 

Knockers (Part 2)

Another set from my archive. Triumphs in personal taste over resale value.

Knockers (Part 1)

I went through a bit of a phase in the last year, I started taking photographs of knockers. Door knockers. I happened to see a few exceptional ones and it made me hungry to see more and record them for posterity. It made me sentimental for an imagined past in which lovingly-crafted ironmongery was a focal point. I've been charmed by the personality-projection that can come with owned properties, and I had to learn how to walk down a street while nonchalantly checking out door knockers without looking like a burglar or plain-clothed postman as my head swung side to side. 

Here is the first batch of my collection, please look upon them as an alternative to Page 3 or wall-mounted animal heads (an analogy that comes to mind as I've seen many metal lion heads).
