Classic Ring Brass Door Knocker

The Classic Ring Door Knocker mimics the style of the first recorded door knockers in history. These simple rings were often displayed on medieval churches and cathedrals as a means of assuring refuge. If a person was being pursued by a secular authority their goal would be to reach the church in time to grasp the ring. This action would signify their safety from the pursuers and their protection by the church. The classic ring doorknocker is hand cast in solid brass to the highest standards of quality. The design is traditional and crisp, which makes it suitable for any home. Door knocker comes with a heavy solid brass striker button and 2"" brass screws and measures approximately 6"" x 4"" x 2"". Spacing between holes: 4"". Weighs 2.20 lbs
