Door Knocker
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A door knocker is an item of door furniture that allows people outside a house to alert those inside to their presence. A door knocker has a part fixed to the door, and a part (usually metal) attached to it by a hinge that may be lifted and used to strike a plate fitted to the door, or the door itself, making a noise. The struck plate, if present, would be supplied and fitted with the knocker.
Door knockers are often ornate, but may be no more than a simple fitting with a metal bob or ring.
"He has a very nice face and style, really," said Mrs Kenwigs.
"He certainly has," added Miss Petowker. "There's something in his appearance quite - dear, dear, what's that word again?"
"What word?" inquired Mr. Lillyvick.
"Why - dear me, how stupid I am," replied Miss Petowker, hesitating. "What do you call it when Lords break off door-knockers and beat policemen, and play at coaches with other people's money, and all that sort of thing?"
"Aristocratic?" suggested the collector.
