“If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door.” – Milton Berle
A note about hand door knockers- the hand, or “hamsa” is an image recognized and used as a sign of protection in many societies throughout history, a talisman to ward off the “evil eye”.
What a difference interesting hardware makes to a visitor’s first impression. The details are always worth the extra effort.
Do you have interesting door hardware? If so please share!
I had no idea about the symbolism….I love an interesting door knocker.
I learned about that recently, thought it was too fun not to share. Turns out we already had a hand door knocker! Tks for commenting.
