Large Hand-Forged Ring Door Knocker
This large ring door knocker is a solid and durable handcrafted item, forged by skilled blacksmiths using traditional techniques. Its rustic yet attractive design makes it perfect for older-style buildings where a modern doorbell might feel out of place.
The surface is finished using a time-honored method: blackened by burning in linseed oil. This creates a rich, black protective layer that resists rust and gives the metal a beautiful, slightly oily appearance with a dry finish to the touch.
The ring has a diameter of 12 cm (4.7 inches) and weighs just over 0.5 kg (1.1 lbs). The sturdy construction ensures long-term durability even with regular use.
The knocker is attached to the door using two screws (not included). A forged nail is provided to protect the door where the ring strikes. The ring is movable and hits the nail head rather than damaging the door surface.
This piece is ideal for cottages, saunas, barns, or country homes where authentic, rustic character is desired. It also functions as a two-in-one door handle and knocker, combining charm and utility.
Available only in a linseed-oil-burnt black finish, it’s an excellent choice for those who appreciate high-quality craftsmanship and traditional design.
