19th-Century English Bronze Squirrel Door Knocker - 3¼"

Whimsical and refined, this 19th-century bronze door knocker captures a moment of natural charm in the form of a poised squirrel clutching a nut. Cast in solid bronze with a rich, time-softened patina, the piece is sculpted in crisp relief, showcasing the creature’s curled tail and alert posture with delightful character. The backplate, cast in the shape of a textured tree, reinforces the woodland theme and frames the figure with rustic elegance.

Likely of English origin, the knocker exemplifies the Victorian fascination with nature and decorative utility. It would have originally adorned a cottage or townhouse door, offering both function and a touch of fanciful welcome.

Perfect as a pull for a pantry or kitchen cupboard, or even a child’s bedroom armoire, this petite bronze knocker may also be delightfully repurposed as a whimsical paperweight.
