The Symbolism Behind the Knock
In many cultures, the front door symbolizes protection and prosperity. A lion head brass door knocker has long been seen as a guardian emblem a powerful figure inviting strength and warding off negative energy. For those drawn to grace and tradition, motifs like elephants, floral engravings, and geometric patterns each tell their own spiritual tale.
These designs are especially loved for heritage homes, wooden villa doors, and temple inspired entrances, bringing together beauty, meaning, and craftsmanship in one bold gesture.
