Brass door knocker Providence House Chester
Includes free shipping to UK mainland
For sale, we present a decorative vintage or possibly antique brass door knocker.
This cast brass front door knocker prominently features Providence House, located in Chester, England. The name of the house is reputed to have originated from its distinction as the only residence that escaped the devastating outbreak of plague in 1647–48, which tragically claimed the lives of approximately 2,000 individuals in the city. However, it is important to note that this particular house was not constructed until after the plague had subsided, leading many historians to believe that the name likely refers to the previous occupants of the former structure on the site who were spared from contracting the disease. For those interested in literature, the building is also mentioned in the novel "God's Providence House: A Story of 1791" (1865) authored by Isabella Banks, further enriching its historical significance.
