Description from the seller
No reserve price!
Lovely antique door knocker / lion-head door trim in cast bronze, late 19th century / early 20th century (Victorian / Neoclassical style).
Elegant oval-shaped door knocker or antique knocker, crafted from solid cast brass (or patinated bronze). The central section features a carved relief sculpture with the effigy of a lion head with an imposing expression and a detailed mane, a classic Victorian motif symbolizing protection and prestige. The exterior impact ring is hinged at the top and finished at the base with a stylized shell-shaped escutcheon.
Excellent age-appropriate condition, with the mechanism fully functional and a natural patina aged by time.
Seller's Story
Antiques are my great passion; all the items I have on auction were found at antique fairs and antique shops mainly from the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal, a country with a centuries-old history and many fabulous pieces and objects from this long journey, which I present here for auction. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original, and obviously beautiful. Guarantee of quality and great care in the shipping of the items. Thank you.
