Rough Linen I put up an old Marine knocker on my front door - nobody messes with a Marine! and I liked the world and the anchor.

richardaz Take a look at the door knockers from www.VicenzaDesigns.com (yes the same people who make the beautiful pewter knobs and pulls). They offer styles of door knockers ranging from equestrian to old-world. I have used the "fish" design, along with a large two-fish front door pull on a beach house - it has become a focal point for the front porch.
