The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Lion head motifs on entrance doors originate from ancient Greece and Rome, where lions symbolised strength, guardianship, and protection. The design experienced major revivals during the Georgian, Regency, and Victorian periods, becoming a staple feature of stately home architecture.

Traditional door knockers were typically sand-cast using molten brass or bronze alloys. Once cooled, artisans hand-chased the detailed relief featuressuch as the lions mane and facial expressionsbefore drilling mounting holes and applying protective or decorative finishes.

Authentic period pieces usually feature substantial weight, hand-finished casting seams, and subtle irregularities in detail. Look for natural patination in recessed areas, historical wear around fixing points, and traditional threaded bolt attachments rather than modern screw fittings.

A period brass knocker provides a focal point when mounted centrally on a timber entrance door painted in deep heritage colours like navy, dark green, or black. Pairing the fitting with matching brass letterplates and door knobs creates a cohesive traditional entry.

To preserve aged patination and verdigris, avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive metal polishes. Dust regularly with a soft cloth and apply a thin layer of neutral microcrystalline wax to protect the metal surface against atmospheric moisture.
