Door knockers are more popular in Europe, mostly in England than in any other country and can be found everywhere, even in the most remote locations.Below is the history of the door knockers.
Door knockers have a long history and have been used in various cultures throughout the centuries. The exact origins of door knockers are challenging to trace, but they are believed to date back to ancient civilizations. Here's a brief overview of the history of door knockers:
1) Ancient Greece and Rome: The use of door knockers can be traced back to ancient Greece and Rome. In these civilizations, wealthy homes often had ornate metal door knockers that served both a functional and decorative purpose. These early knockers were often shaped like mythological creatures or had symbolic designs.
2) Medieval Europe: Door knockers became more prevalent in medieval Europe. During this time, they were often made of iron or brass and took on various shapes, such as animals, grotesque faces, or religious symbols. The design and material used for door knockers often indicated the status and wealth of the homeowner.
3) 17th to 19th Centuries: Door knockers continued to evolve in design and popularity during the 17th to 19th centuries. In England, for example, there was a surge in the use of decorative knockers during the Georgian and Victorian eras. Many of these designs were elaborate and reflected the fashion and artistic trends of the time.
4) Colonial America: As European settlers moved to the Americas, they brought with them the tradition of using door knockers. In colonial America, door knockers were often simpler in design, reflecting the more utilitarian style of the period.
5) 19th Century Revival: The 19th century saw a revival of interest in historical styles, including the Gothic and Renaissance periods. This influenced door knocker designs, with many reproductions and new creations inspired by earlier styles.
6) 20th Century and Beyond: In the 20th century, door knockers continued to be used, though their popularity waned with the advent of electric doorbells. However, in recent years, there has been a renewed interest in traditional and vintage design elements...
