A serious expression and droopy ears give this Dachshund Door Knocker its undeniable charm. Positioned to face visitors head-on, it’s guaranteed to raise a smile. Cast from solid brass and weighing just under 1kg, it gives a satisfying knock and is easy to install with a surface-mounted bracket and fixings included. Handcrafted using traditional techniques, each piece is unique and engraved with the maker’s mark. Over time, the brass will develop a natural patina, or it can be polished to maintain its shine. Suitable for wooden and solid core composite doors. Presented in a wooden gift box with a branded dust bag. Other finishes available—please see our website. To maintain the polished finish, clean regularly with a metal cleaner. If left unpolished, the brass will naturally tarnish and develop a rich patina over time. Factors such as exposure to moisture, sunlight, air quality, and location can all influence the rate and nature of this process. These changes are part of the charm and character of solid brass.
