Item:  Wonderful
Basset Hound Duet Door Knocker
(or,
Two Heads are Better than One!
), individually lost wax cast in Bronze.  VERY RARE!
I have just started these, in response to LOTS of requests from my clients for Larger Door Knockers, so very few have EVER been made!
Brackets extend downward from a pair of heads, which support the 5/8" diameter rod about 1 1/2" from the wall.  The round finials make an elegant ending to the rod, and prevents it from pulling out, unless you unscrew the finials, which extend about 1 3/8" beyond each end of the rod.  The Swiveling Knocker hangs from the middle of the rod, with a sturdy striker at the bottom, that contacts the strike plate beneath: "bone" shaped, in the case of dogs, and oval for other animals.  The height of the full piece varies depending on the Head that is used.  They are about 5 1/2" - 6 1/2" high by 5 1/2" wide (14 cm - 16.5 cm x 14 cm).
The pieces are quite substantial and suitable for exterior doors. Oval head screws are provided to fit in the holes in the brackets and the strike plate.
Makes a great gift!
(I was unable to get pictures without glare for the Duet Door Knockers, but since I use the same head on my Deluxe! Finger Pulls [knob alternatives], I am showing you pictures of those, so you can get a better idea of the details of the head.)
Very few of these have EVER been made!  I am making more dogs and animals in this format, and you might consider getting more.  Please let me know if you are looking for an animal or dog that I have not yet made!  I am the ONLY one who makes these.
Any of these items are also available with a coppery brown patina, or with nickel plating.  There is a
small fee for adding a patina and an additional charge for nickel plating.
Nickel plating takes additional time as the pieces have to be sent out for plating.  Please contact me for charges.

I hand carve (in wax) and cast (in bronze) each of these special pieces by the "lost wax" method.  Of course each piece is signed and copyrighted.  If you buy more than one of my items, you can save at least on shipping.

Shipping:
The buyer (in the US) pays for most orders (shipped by Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation).  If you get the longer rod, there is an extra charge for shipping as it won't fit inside a Small Flat Rate Priority Mail Box.  You may combine purchases to save on shipping.  Buyers outside the US usually pay (Canada) or (most other countries) for Priority Mail International.
