Vintage Brass Mayflower Door Knocker

This knocker depicts the iconic Mayflower, the famous 17th-century merchant ship that transported the Pilgrims to America in 1620. This style of hardware is known as English souvenir brassware or nautical toleware. During the early-to-mid 1900s (1930 - 1960), British and American foundries mass-produced a huge variety of decorative brass door knockers featuring famous historic ships (like the Mayflower, Victory, or Cutty Sark), literary figures, and regional landmarks.

Door knockers are a Tiffany Skilling Interiors specialty. She loves using them as a personal, charming touch to powder bathrooms especially.
