Brass Door knocker 'D'ye Ken John Peel' design
Includes free shipping to UK mainland
For sale, we have a highly decorative and striking antique cast brass door knocker or striker.
This decorative brass door knocker features an intricate casting of a huntsman on his horse, accompanied by his loyal hounds and is adorned with the inscription, "D’ye Ken John Peel." This phrase is a charming reference to the famous folk song penned around 1824 by John Woodcock Graves (1795–1886), which celebrates his friend John Peel (1776–1854), a well-known English fox hunter hailing from the picturesque Lake District. This front door knocker not only serves a practical purpose but also offers a delightful glimpse into the rich folk history of England.
