Interesting knockers

Hello, I’m thinking of getting a door knocker, looking for some inspiration. We’re near the sea so I’m thinking maybe a nautical one! Have you got an interesting one, does it link to a theme of your town or street or house? Might be outing maybe people can make change just for this? Would love some ideas.

I like 'ship' door knockers and have seen a few dolphins too locally, easily found online!
I have a boring door knocker but if I ever change it I will get this lovely chameleon!

It's got to be a brass monkey.
I'd love a brass monkey door knocker.

I specifically came onto this thread to say that I have very interesting knockers...

Not sure that me bouncing them off your front door would summon you to my presence however.

AuntieDolly · 24/09/2024 13:29

There are some beautiful ones on here: www.gipsyhillhardware.com/?srsltid=AfmBOorNRzXBM0Z3Dw2HUan77Rui-6FnIxywKNTKFvAHhJpBYW7Zbdv4

Nope! It must win a prize for best title of the day/week/year, surely? EDIT -- I'm now searching the internet looking at interesting knockers... thanks @Gigiopk Grin

I have a dragonfly one. I love it.

We have a big brass pineapple. But DH's parents almost wet themselves laughing when we told them, because apparently a pineapple on the door means you're swingers. Grin

My DH is from Cornwall - so we have a piskie door knocker. We left UK though - now living overseas with our piskie.

Purplepepsi · 24/09/2024 14:44

I had a pinecone which I loved, then we got a composite door so had to take it off. When we've moved it's going onto the new door!

My dd bought us one like this in nickel for our silver wedding anniversary.
On a walk during covid I saw a beautiful grandfather clock door knocker. There are so many about, the difficult bit is choosing just one!

faroutnow · 24/09/2024 16:45

I want a woodpecker
