About this piece

Pair of vintage Soviet lion head door knocker pull handles in cast bronze/brass, approx. 920 g, with maker's mark and original patina. Ships worldwide.

From the seller's notes

These Soviet lion head door knocker handles are a pair of vintage USSR-era door pulls, each featuring a beautifully detailed bas-relief of a lion's head holding a ring. Cast in bronze or brass, they are solid and heavy, at approximately 920 g for the pair, and full of character and history. A distinctive addition to a front door, a period restoration or a collection of decorative hardware.

Good vintage condition. The handles retain their original patina and have not been harshly cleaned. There are signs of age and wear, including surface scratches and patina variations.

Please check the photos carefully, including the macro shots of the maker's mark, as they form part of the description.

About This Piece

The lion head with a ring is one of the oldest motifs in door hardware, a symbol of strength and protection that has guarded entrances since antiquity. Soviet-era cast versions like these bring that classic look together with the weight and patina of genuine vintage metal. Because the two handles bolt through the door to each other, they are designed to be mounted as a matching set on both sides of a door, or they can be displayed as decorative objects in their own right.
