Presenting an original reclaimed cast iron Victorian door knocker by
A.Kenrick & Co.
Kenrick & Sons have always been a popular foundry, with Archibald
Kenrick’s works being highly focused around the employees and staff, and
thus, they created a strong community with good fair work ethics, which
was unusual for the period.
Archibald Kenrick I originally started life as an iron founder in
1791 manufacturing buckles and livery fittings and then created a
quality iron foundry, also casting some brass items designed by the
ever-important Dr. Christopher Dresser.
