Cast Iron Horse & Horseshoe Door Knocker
Symbolism and Style for Your Entrance
The horse has long been a symbol of strength, freedom, and nobility, while the horseshoe is considered a worldwide talisman for good luck and protection. By combining these two motifs, you get not only a functional knocker but also a powerful symbol that welcomes friends and protects your home. With its rustic yet elegant appearance, it perfectly suits the door of a country home, cottage, ranch, or stable, but can also serve as a striking, imaginative contrast on a modern home.
From the History of Knockers and Horseshoes
For centuries, long before the invention of the electric doorbell, door knockers were the primary way to announce one's arrival. They were often highly ornate, and their design reflected the status and taste of the homeowner. The superstition of the lucky horseshoe is just as ancient. One popular legend connects it to St. Dunstan, a blacksmith who is said to have once shod the Devil himself. The Devil then promised never to enter a home protected by a horseshoe. Whether it should hang with the ends pointing up (to collect luck) or down (to let luck shower down on those who enter) is still a topic of friendly debate today.
