First came the quirky sayings on doormats, then the pop of color that could be seen from the curb. Now, it's time for door knockers to get their turn in the spotlight.
It's said that England has more door knockers than any other country, and they've been adorning Brits' homes since the 16th century. Over time, the designs became more detailed and often reflected an owner's interests, faith, or profession. Their practical purpose may be overshadowed by modern inventions like the video-cam doorbell, but door knockers still add a personal touch and a cheerful welcome to any home.
