1925 Art Deco Brass Door Knocker with Integrated Letter Slot.
Original British Architectural Hardware in Stepped Sculptural Geometric Form
A rare and beautifully preserved example of British Art Deco design, this 1925 solid brass door knocker with integrated letterbox cover embodies the streamlined elegance and bold geometry that defined the era.
Design & Craftsmanship
Cast in solid brass and finished in its original gold-toned paint, this architectural accent is both sculptural and functional. Its stepped motif is a classic feature of the Art Deco movement—symbolizing progress, symmetry, and modernism. The precise angles and balanced form reflect a design language that was as decorative as it was forward-looking.
The letter slot with knocker are seamlessly integrated, offering a unique blend of style and utility. This is not just hardware—it’s a piece of design history.
Its proportions make it a distinctive yet tasteful focal point for any period or contemporary entryway.
Provenance & Markings
Sourced from a private collection in the South of England, this piece retains its original Registered Design Number (RD No. 800493), clearly stamped on the reverse. This authenticates it as an original early 20th-century production.
