The Heart in History and Art

Although we now consider the heart shape a universal symbol of love, its popularity with this meaning only became widespread in Europe in the late Middle Ages. Before then, love was often represented by other symbols. The heart became a central motif in courtly love literature and art and gradually transferred to architecture and the decorative arts. On the doors of homes, it symbolized not just romantic love, but also the "heart of the home"—a place of warmth, safety, and hospitality for all who arrived.

Interesting Fact: The Sacred Heart

The heart symbol also carries deep spiritual meaning. One of the most prominent examples is the cult of the "Sacred Heart of Jesus," which has been widespread in the Catholic Church since the 17th century. This depiction of Jesus's heart, often encircled by a crown of thorns and aflame, is a symbol of his infinite and sacrificial love for humanity. This shows how the heart symbol transcends simple romance and carries a message of deep, all-encompassing love.

Honest Craftsmanship and Easy Installation

Installation and Care

Installation of the knocker is simple. It consists of two parts—an upper hinge piece and a lower striker plate, both of which are attached to the door with screws. This two-point attachment ensures the knocker will hold firmly. Screws are not included, allowing you to choose the fasteners most appropriate for your door's surface. Thanks to the durable finish, maintenance is minimal—simply wipe it with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
