Vintage Door Knocker Solid Cast Bronze/Brass Grimacing Winged Gryphon Gothic

Description

We offer for your consideration this Vintage heavy door knocker.
This door knocker is a heavy piece of work, it looks to be a sand casted.
The design is a Gothic sculpt of a grimacing Gryphon with scrolled wings,
the claw foot serves as the handle.
This knocker weighs in at approximately 4 pounds.
For some reason it was painted, probably to prevent oxidation. But why it was not allowed to develop a beautiful patina is beyond me, I would strip the paint and let nature do it's beautiful thing.
The only thing it needs are some mounting fasteners and a strike plate, this knocker will dent your door without a strike plate.
If you are a collector of gothic architectural design elements, or just like gryphons, and have a heavy door in need of a suitable knocker, this is for you.
