What characterises Egyptian Revival style hardware?

Egyptian Revival hardware emerged in the 19th century, incorporating motifs such as sphinxes, pharaoh heads, lotus flowers, and scarabs inspired by archaeological discoveries in Egypt.

What materials were traditionally used to make Victorian door knockers?

Door knockers from this era were primarily sand-cast in solid bronze, brass, or cast iron, often finished with dark patination or left polished.

How can authentic 19th-century door knockers be identified?

Authentic 19th-century pieces display hand-chased details, seam lines from two-part sand casting moulds, and natural wear or patination on contact points.

How can antique bronze door knockers be styled in a modern interior?

Antique metal knockers can be mounted onto contemporary solid wooden entrance doors or displayed on custom stands as decorative objects within an interior scheme.

How should patinated bronze door knockers be maintained?

Dust regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply microcrystalline wax sparingly to preserve the existing patina without stripping the surface finish.
