ABOUT PRODUCTID 20201
This Art Nouveau door knocker, dating from around 1900 and originating from Austria, is cast in bronze that was originally gilded. The dominant tone is a deep, warm bronze with a subtle reddish hue and a semi-matte finish, punctuated by a gentle sheen on raised reliefs—a result of natural patina and the passage of time. The mounting plate is rectangular with pointed top and bottom, adorned with rhythmic incised lines and stylized corner details. The handle, triangular with rounded edges, echoes the organic curves of the plate and is attached with sturdy, visible joints. On the reverse, a catalog number and the “G.G.” mark—gesetzlich geschützt, denoting a registered design—are present. The piece is in good condition, with consistent patina and minor traces of use, showing no visible damage or repairs.This object carries the story of a turn-of-the-century era, when applied art became a statement of new sensibility. Flowing, undulating lines and balanced symmetry reveal the spirit of Art Nouveau—a time that sought harmony between nature and craftsmanship. The bronze surface, gently darkened by age, evokes the memory of bourgeois townhouses, where every detail mattered and had its own voice—the knocker serving not just as a functional element, but as a herald of the home’s style.It may be used as an original accent on historic or contemporary entrance doors,
