Brass Lion Head Doorknockers for Sale in the UK

Browse current UK listings for brass lion head doorknockers, from compact reclaimed examples to larger architectural-salvage pieces. Asking prices in these examples range from about £16 to £60, with pairs and cabinet-style pulls also appearing. When comparing options, check the stated dimensions and weight, since scale can vary considerably, and confirm whether the piece is solid brass, cast brass, plated or simply described as brass. Review photographs closely for wear, verdigris, dents, repairs and missing fixings, and check the seller’s details for mounting hardware and delivery costs.

What to Look For

Check the dimensions carefully, particularly the backplate, projection and fixing-hole spacing, as lion-head knockers vary considerably and may suit doors, gates or furniture rather than a standard entrance door. Confirm whether the item is solid brass, plated or cast in another metal, and ask how the finish has been treated; unlaquered brass may develop further patina. Inspect photographs for dents, cracks, bent knockers, worn pivots and damaged threaded fittings. Establish whether the knocker, backplate, striker and mounting hardware are all included. On salvaged examples, check for old paint, polishing, repairs or replaced screws, and ask whether the movement is secure and the clapper meets the striking plate cleanly.

Buying Tips

Compare the measurements carefully: lion-head knockers vary from small cabinet-style pulls to full-sized door furniture, and listings may describe pairs or single pieces differently. Check seller photographs for dents, cracks, worn plating, verdigris, surface cleaning and missing fixing hardware. Confirm whether brass is solid, plated, lacquered or deliberately unlaquered if that matters to you. Read descriptions for repairs and completeness, then check postage, packaging and return terms, particularly for heavier examples or salvaged items.
