About this work
Door knocker consisting of two parts. The openwork mount is square in basic form. From the opening in the center four scrolls spring, each splitting into three leaves. The outer leaves of each scroll are connected to each other. A door knocker can be attached in the opening. The door knocker is attached to a sharp rod. On either side of the rod is a scroll that splits in two, the ends of which terminate in a spherical form. The scrolls curl downwards towards each other and twist into each other, creating a kind of handle.
