Description: Vintage Bronze Toned Florentine 'Green Man' Door Knocker - Dimensions are 14 1/2" high , 8 5/8" wide at its widest , 2 3/8" thick . Material is bronze tone patinated steel/iron . This classic door knocker is an absolute beauty . It's hefty and solid . Finished in a green bronze patination it's fearsome and gloriously representative of the 'Green Man' , the 'Man of the Forest'. Seen for centuries , perhaps millennia as an entity that represented nature , similar to 'Mother Nature' , but dedicated to protecting the forest and its creatures from misfortune and of course - Man. It's been speculated that the origin of the legend flows from lone men who for reasons unknown were outcasts - ostracized from their people , who took up living in the forests of Europe and came rightly to be feared by women , children and men. He was a protector. This is the perfect kind of imagery for a door knocker . Whether employed decoratively on a verdant garden gate or used as a functional knocker on the door of your home , this is a true work of art. Available at upwards of $150 , we have priced it much more reasonably .
