Antique French Hand Forged Wrought Iron Door Knocker

This antique French door knocker, hand-forged from weighty wrought iron, exemplifies traditional blacksmith craftsmanship. The design features a robust circular ring with a subtly textured surface, bearing visible hammer marks that attest to its handmade origins. Accompanying the ring is a simple iron striker plate making a great sound when used. 

Currently mounted on a rustic wooden block, this piece can serve as a decorative accent, suitable for display on a shelf or console. For functional use, the knocker can be removed from the block and installed on a front door. The aged patina and natural wear of both iron and wood enhance its historical charm, making it a versatile addition to both traditional and contemporary settings.
