Description
The Kirkpatrick Fox Door Knocker 574 is formed with a fox’s head as its principal decorative element, with a slender knocker operating against a small lower backplate.
The backplate provides the striking point and is intended to help prevent indentation of the door surface. The fitting belongs to Kirkpatrick’s Black Antique collection of front door furniture and forms part of the company’s malleable ironmongery range.
Kirkpatrick has manufactured ironmongery at its Walsall foundry since 1855, with this collection traditionally made in the UK by skilled blacksmiths. Its period character makes it appropriate for sympathetic restoration work and period properties, as well as new-build schemes where a period-style detail is specified.
