Cast Iron Lion Head Door Knocker, Black Antique Style

A Majestic Guardian for Your Threshold

The intricately detailed lion's head, with its rich mane and piercing gaze, holds a massive ring in its mouth for knocking. The black finish gives the knocker an antique yet elegant appearance. Every detail, from the texture of the mane to the facial expression, attests to quality craftsmanship and artistic sensibility.

A Versatile Accessory with Character

This door knocker is an ideal choice for main entrance doors, gates, or portals. It perfectly complements buildings in historical, rustic, Victorian, Gothic, Baroque, or Colonial styles. However, don't hesitate to use it on more modern doors if you're looking for a distinctive and original element to break the mundane and give your entrance an unmistakable character.

An Interesting Fact: The Lion as a Symbol

The lion has been a symbol of strength, courage, royal power, and protection since ancient times. Door knockers in the shape of a lion's head were therefore used for centuries, often on the gates of important buildings, palaces, or the homes of influential people. The lion thus symbolically guarded the entrance and announced the importance of the place or its owner. To have a lion door knocker signified not only good taste but also a certain status.

Quick and Easy Installation

Installing the door knocker is straightforward. Here’s how:

1. On the back of the cast iron lion's head, you will find pre-drilled, threaded holes.
2. Screw the included headless bolts (studs) into these holes.
3. Measure the positions for the bolts on your door and drill corresponding holes completely through the door.
4. Push the bolts (now attached to the knocker) through the door.
5. From the inside of the door, place the nuts onto the ends of the bolts and tighten them firmly. You may need to cut the bolts to the appropriate length for your door's thickness.
