Also known as "Maggies Den" or "Blair's Lair" as this is the official door knocker found on the front door of the Prime Minister at Number 10 Downing Street in London. This, like all of our solid brass door knockers, is individually hand crafted by skilled craftsment employed by a leading British foundry that has been creating quality basswares for the past 75 years. It is made using the traditional art of sand-casting and a pure first-run ingot brass mix rich in copper for depth of colour and durability. No scrap or recycled brass is used...ensuring that there will not be any impurities imbedded in the raw brass mix. After the cast is removed from the sand mold it is shot-blasted, hand dressed and hand filed to remove any excess material that may be left during the casting. The door knocker is hand polished to a high British standard to enhance the natural beauy of quality brass then antiqued to give it background and definition in its pattern. This antique colouration is removed from the more pronounced areas giving the finished piece a beautifully aged look. The #10 is made to last for generations and will be admired by all who enter. Approximate mesurements: 7" in height, 3.50" in width and it weighs 2 pounds 6 ounces. (38 ounces)
