Noble Lion Door Knocker: Custom Hand Forged Iron Hardware

Lions are noble creatures that cultures around the world have admired for more than 17,000 years. That's a long time! What better way to compliment your door than with an outstanding, real hand forged noble lion door knocker. All of our custom door hardware is made by master blacksmiths. Our custom lion head door knockers are a fantastic example of the type of exquisite work that can be done by our master metalworkers. We can customize door knockers to fit your specific needs and style. You can even submit your own picture or design idea and our design engineers and blacksmiths will custom craft it for you at no additional charge.

Our custom hardware products are all finished using our proprietary iron oxide advance patination process. This process infuses a hand applied patina to the metal at over 1000 degrees Fahrenheit. This makes for a vibrantly colored finish that will stand the test of time with little or no maintenance. Unlike paints and powder coats, a heat infused patina won't crack, peel, or flake off over time. The hardware on your custom door or gate can be finished in any color you choose, or even matched to a sample that you submit.

Custom Door Hardware Inspired by the Mighty Beast

Lions are the world's second largest cat (tigers being number one), and humanity has been fascinated by them for millennia - a male lion's beautiful mane makes its face one of the most widely recognized animal symbols. Lions are historically known as the "King of Beasts" leading various cultures to view them as brave, noble, strong, and as a source of healing. Just like all of our doors and custom home furnishings, all of our hardware is certified fine art quality. Not only is each piece built uniquely by the hands of one master metalsmith, but every item that leaves our shop is designed by and built under the supervision of award winning artist H.J. Nick. Every product is signed by H.J. Nick, thus ensuring that your product is a one-of-a-kind work of art, that is of investment quality, and will hold future value in antiquity.

Lion Head Door Knocker Historical Significance

Lion head iron door knockers have been used for centuries as a decorative and functional element for front doors. The use of lion heads in architecture and design dates back to ancient times, where they were often used to convey power, strength, and nobility. During the medieval period, lion heads became a popular decorative element in Gothic architecture, particularly on doorways and entrances to castles and cathedrals. The lion was often seen as a symbol of the power, and might, of the monarchy, and the aristocracy. Its image was used to intimidate, and awe those who visited these structures.

In the Renaissance period, lion head motifs continued to be popular in European art and design, particularly in Italy. Lion heads were often used in sculptures, paintings, and other decorative arts as a symbol of strength, bravery, and leadership. During the 18th and 19th centuries, lion head door knockers became a popular architectural detail in Europe, and North America. They were often made of iron or brass and were prized for their durability and ability to withstand the elements. In the 20th century, the popularity of lion head door knockers continued to grow, and they became a common feature on many types of homes, from grand estates, to more modest dwellings. Today, lion head door knockers can still be found on many homes and buildings around the world, and they continue to be valued for their beauty, symbolism, and functional use. The history of the lion head door knocker can be traced back to ancient times, and over the centuries, they have evolved into one of the most popular decorative, and functional hardware elements for front doors. Even in modern times, they continue to be prized for their beauty and symbolism.
