Where Will This Knocker Look Best?

Thanks to its universal and clean design, this knocker is suitable for a wide range of doors and gates. It will look majestic on a massive farmhouse gate, on the front door of a log cabin or cottage, on the gate to a monastery garden, or even on a modern door to which you want to add an interesting historical contrast. Its robust construction ensures that its resonant sound will not be missed.

The Circle as a Symbol of Eternity

The circle is one of the oldest and most powerful symbols of humanity. It has no beginning and no end, thus representing eternity, wholeness, unity, and protection. In many cultures and religions, the circle was used to define sacred spaces or as a protective symbol placed on the doors and thresholds of homes. A ring knocker, therefore, is not just an ordinary functional object; it carries with it the deep and ancient symbolism of welcoming and safeguarding the home, which adds meaning to your entrance.

Interesting Fact: The Right of Sanctuary and Church Knockers

Many historical door knockers on the doors of churches and cathedrals took the form of a simple, massive ring. In the Middle Ages, these knockers, known as "sanctuary rings," had a crucial legal function. A fugitive who managed to grasp such a ring placed themselves under the protection of the Church and could not be arrested as long as they were on sacred ground. A simple iron ring could thus decide between life and death.

Honest Craftsmanship and Simple Installation

Installation and Care

The installation of the knocker is designed for a firm and reliable attachment. It consists of the ring and two mounting bosses (an upper one and a lower striker plate), which are attached to the door. The necessary mounting hardware is included in the package. Thanks to the durable oil-blackened finish, maintenance is minimal. To clean, simply wipe the knocker with a dry or slightly damp cloth and avoid using abrasive materials.

What This Knocker Is Definitely Not For

This ring is intended for knocking on doors. It is not a prize for the winner of a knight's tournament, nor a nose ring for your minotaur kept in the basement. Use it for its original, noble purpose.
