Antique 1922 Bronze American Eagle Architectural Salvage Doorknocker

ESTIMATED CIRCA 1920 - 1940. CLASSIC BRONZE OR BRASS DOORKNOCKER IN THE PATRIOTIC TASTE. RESCUED FROM THE FRONT DOOR OF A GRAND OLD HOME IN SAVANNAH, GEORGIA.

THAT WAS (UNFORTUNATELY) TORN DOWN IN THE 1960's. TIMELESS ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN REMINISCENT OF A BYGONE ERA. AND SURE TO BE THE FOCAL POINT ON A DOOR OF DISTINCTION.

EXQUISITELY DETAILED AMERICAN EAGLE WITH FEATHERED WINGS SPREAD WIDE. AND TALONS CLASPING AN OLIVE BRANCH (REPRESENTING PEACE). SOLID AND HEAVY KNOCKER ARM WITH TRIPLE BALUSTER FINGER GRIP. A WARM MELLOWED PATINA THAT ONLY COMES WITH TRUE AGE AND USE.

AND A KNOCK LOUD ENOUGH TO AWAKEN THE SPIRITS OF AGES PAST. MADE TO LAST BEYOND A LIFETIME. ESTIMATED AT 80 TO 100 YEARS OLD.

AND SHOWS HONEST AGE-RELATED WEAR AND PATINA. SEE ALL PHOTOS AS THEY ARE THE BEST INDICATION OF CONDITION. I TRULY BELIEVE EVERY OLD OBJECT HAS A STORY TO TELL.. AND OH, WHAT STORIES THIS DOORKNOCKER COULD SPEAK. OF THE MANY FRIENDS AND CALLERS WHO CAME TO VISIT... PLEASE PAY WITHIN 3 DAYS OF SALE..
