Measuring 5 inches in length, this finely detailed cast iron door knocker is modeled as a medieval gauntlet clutching a ball. The piece retains traces of its original painted surface and displays a rich, time-earned patina. Mounted on a custom white-painted wooden display stand measuring approximately 9 x 7 x 9 inches, making it ideal for presentation. A distinctive and sculptural example of 19th- to early 20th-century hardware, blending functionality with decorative artistry.
