If you love old furniture, you will get a kick out of Architectural Classics. This blog has interesting articles, do it yourself projects and even a video about cool looking talking door knockers! The blog is give a fresh look at doors hardware and old lighting.
There is even a section that focuses on famous door knockers. Included in the posts are a door knocker that is 2 1/2 thousand years old, a brass knocker in the shape of a nose and a medusa head knocker. Medusa’s hair is being held up by Perseus’s hand (he is the one that cut off her head according to Greek mythology.)

Thanks for the kind words! You’ve picked up on some of our favourites too. The famous knockers can either amuse or bemuse us too.
Good luck!

I have this weird fascination about lightings. I’m not sure about that Medusa’s hair door knocker, I still prefer the ones with curl-like intricate designs.
