The only other place you can tap this knocker is where Gordon Brown will answer the door! This is a solid brass replica of an original 18th-century imperial lion used for the British Prime Minister's residence in London at No. 10 Downing Street. Give your guests a formal British welcome, as Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher did when they answered the call of this No. 10 Downing Street Door Knocker. A great housewarming gift for the home, apartment, or condo! Complete with the strike plate.
I’ve had this door knocker for years. It hung on our English tudor home in Illinois. We recently sold it and I don’t think I appreciated the little details like this until now. This door knocker is beautiful and well-made. It has just enough shine to it to make it stand out, but it’s not an obnoxious shiny brass. It’s dialed down to give it that weathered, aged appearance. I miss being greeted by it so much, that I am trying to figure out how we can replace the existing (contractor grade) knocker on our new home with this one again. The beauty is in the details and this is exquisite.It has just enough shine to it to make it stand out, but it’s not an obnoxious or gaudy brass.. Mitme. Crown Point, IN. Fri Sep 27 2024
