Türklopfer - 1850-1900 - Hand-Türklopfer
Common across England, France, and the Mediterranean (Spain/Portugal).
Style: Victorian / Romanticism / Orientalist
A classic and highly collectible "Hand of Fatima" door knocker. This design features a delicately cast female hand with a ring or bracelet at the wrist, holding a ball (sometimes referred to as the 'apple of discord' or 'pearl of wisdom').
Historically, this motif is the Hamsa or Hand of Fatima, used as a protective talisman to ward off the "Evil Eye" and bring good luck to the household. While common in Mediterranean cultures, these became incredibly popular in Victorian England and France during the 1800s as part of the "Orientalist" design movement.
