Maybe you find one in an antique shop or market. Mostly they are very old like this one. I think nowadays nobody would hear someone knocking on their door with all the sounds around us.
I found some wonderful ones in Dublin but my ever practical husband talked me out of an impulse buy. There's a spot in Paris that's supposed to have a fine assortment that I hope to graze this fall. I may be impractical this time and bring one home. If you can't turn around and go back, Google "vintage door knocker" and see what comes up.
Oh my. I miss so much everyday visits to my favorite daily photo blogs. The beautiful faces and the snow in Minnesota (who could guess sitting in Moscow?) and the talented works of art. Feels so good. I like very much your photo in front of Bon Secours Hospital, smiling people. And I promise to be back to art work soon! Thank you so much for your comment.
The knocker has a very serious look on it's face.

ReplyDeleteThere's nothing else for it Kate, you will have to continue the search for the perfect doorknob :)
ReplyDeleteKate Mura, the knocker nicker...
ReplyDeleteWhat a distinctive doorknocker! Try searching the Internet for one!
ReplyDeleteWas this in Charleston?
ReplyDeleteI think old antique stores would be the place to search. The hunt makes the find even more rewarding.
ReplyDeletei could do with an animal face but not a human face, i think. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a nice one. Every door needs one of these.
ReplyDeleteYou don't see these very often any longer.
ReplyDeleteWe still have plenty of these around, but not all of them are so nice!

ReplyDeleteI'd think twice about using this door knocker. The guy gives you a rather severs stare.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if there is a local artist who might make them. Check out this guy: http://www.nikosculpture.com/
ReplyDeleteI've never seen one like this. Nice find.
