FAQs

A Maltese dolphin door knocker is a traditional style of entry hardware featuring a stylised sea creature or mythical dolphin design. Popularised during the 19th century, the design draws on maritime motifs and classical sea monster representations common in Victorian architectural details.

Victorian door knockers were primarily cast in solid brass, bronze, or cast iron. Brass fittings were frequently polished or left unlacquered, allowing natural patination over time, while cast iron versions were often painted black to resist weather exposure.

Authentic period brass hardware typically displays evidence of casting lines, slight hand-finished irregularities, and heavy solid weight. Original items usually feature rear bolt fittings and natural wear or oxidisation in crevices rather than uniform modern machine polishes.

A polished brass knocker creates a striking contrast when mounted against dark or bold contemporary door colours such as navy blue, deep green, or black. Placing period hardware on modern timber or painted composite doors adds historical character to modern entryways.

Unlacquered brass hardware should be cleaned periodically using a mild soapy water solution and dried thoroughly. To maintain a high sheen, a gentle brass polish can be applied with a soft cloth, while applying a microcrystalline wax helps protect the metal surface against outdoor weather.
