Lion Head Door Knocker in Cast Iron | Classic Georgian Style, 15 cm, a Symbol of Strength and Protection
Where Will This Knocker Look Best?
The lion head door knocker is the ideal choice for the solid front door of a city townhouse, a villa, a country estate, or a stylish office. It is intended for those who want their entrance to convey dignity, confidence, and distinction. With its design, it is perfectly suited to Georgian, Victorian, and colonial styles, but it also brilliantly complements neoclassical or even gothic architecture. It is more than just a knocker—it is the calling card of your home.
The Lion Head as Guardian of the Threshold
The lion head motif has served as a symbolic guardian and protector for millennia, with its roots tracing back to ancient Greece and Rome. In architecture, it was used to demonstrate power, wealth, and to ward off evil. This motif experienced a major renaissance during the Georgian era (primarily 18th-century Britain), which valued classical symmetry, elegance, and symbols associated with honour and nobility. The lion, as a national symbol of the British Empire, perfectly embodied the strength and pride of this era. This knocker is therefore a direct link to the elegant and powerful aesthetic of the past.
Interesting Fact: The Lions of Trafalgar Square
Arguably the most famous lion sculptures in Britain are the four monumental bronze lions at the base of Nelson's Column in London's Trafalgar Square. Unveiled in 1867, these sculptures perfectly embody the Georgian and Victorian fascination with the lion as a symbol of national pride and imperial power. It is this same symbolism that this door knocker brings, on a smaller scale, to the threshold of your home.
Honest Material and Easy Installation
Installation and Care
The installation is designed to be as straightforward as possible. The knocker attaches to the door with screws in the upper part (through the lion's mane) and at the bottom (the separate striker plate). The necessary mounting hardware is included in the package. Thanks to the durable finish, maintenance is minimal—to clean, simply wipe the knocker with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials that could damage the details.
