This is a superb original early Victorian cast iron heavy door knocker from Archibald Kenrick, reclaimed and in good working order. The knocker is in its wonderful condition featuring a rams head with multiple layers of original black paint. It bears the number '409' and an impressed date lozenge to both the backplate and striker, dating the knocker to around 1850. Please see detailed photos to appreciate the classic styling and quality of this piece. It measures a total of 9.5 inches (24cm) in height and weighs 1.22 kilos. The securing thread and nut are a little rusty but the nut screws down well. This item does not include a striking plate, as is normal.
