Antique Bronze Door Knocker
A beautiful antique bronze door knocker, this ring knocker is real, sandcast bronze and would look stunning on any front door.
This door knocker in the photo is the CR 1893 Ring Knocker, shown in the “Real Bronze Metal Antique” finish. This isn’t a bronze “finish” on brass, but is real, traditionally sandcast bronze, which is British made, with each one individually finished by hand.
These bronze door knockers are available in three types of real bronze – Real Antique Bronze (as seen in the photo), Tudor Bronze and Polished Bronze (gunmetal).
The “real antique bronze” shown in the photo, is sandcast bronze, which is aged prematurely in a kiln and then polished by hand. This gives a beautiful patinated finish and also brings out the rainbow colours often seen in bronze.
Polished bronze is (as the name suggests!) sandcast bronze, which is polished up to a very high sheen. Rather than the brown patinated colour of antique bronze, polished bronze (often known as gunmetal) is a “coppery” colour, with a hint of pink.
Tudor bronze is also real sandcast bronze. The bronze is barrell-rolled to give a slightly pitted effect, making this finish more rustic in appearance.
These bronze door knockers are also available in cast brass and many other plated and applied finishes.
