The Carlisle Brass Victorian Urn Type Front Door Knocker is a traditional design which is very popular for all types of vintage styled front doors. The classical urn design is reminiscent of the Greek history period and coordinates well with many other classically traditional styles of today.

Classical Door Design

The Urn Type knocker is available in polished brass and polished chrome. The polished brass finish is produced by highly polishing solid brass and then coating with a hardwearing clear lacquer. This requires some care and attention to prevent it from tarnishing, but a clean with mild soapy water to remove dirty deposits and then a light waxing from time to time will keep it in good condition. Never use brass cleaning equipment or abrasive chemical products on polished brass as these will damage the lacquer. Polished chrome is extremely hardwearing and will withstand external conditions very well. A light dusting with a soft cloth and periodical cleaning with a mild soapy solution is all that is required to keep chrome in pristine condition.

Special Stainless Brass PVD Finish

Stainless brassware  is produced by a process known as PVD (physical vapour depositation). These products are treated to an advanced vacuum treated process which renders the surface impervious to damage in normal use including oxidation, wear and abrasion.  The resulting finish has a highly polished brass appearance and comes with a 25 year guarantee.   Just a light dusting with a soft cloth and removal of dirty deposits with a mild solution of soap and water will retain its good looks.
