HIPPO, HIPPOPOTAMUS LARGE Door Knocker in Bronze
Item:  Wonderful
Hippopotamus, Hippo LARGE Door Knocker
, individually lost wax cast in Bronze.  VERY RARE!
I have just started these, in response to LOTS of requests from my clients for Larger Door Knockers, so very few have EVER been made!
Large animal head, hollowed out underneath that pivots on a strike plate.  The dimensions of the full pieces vary depending on the Head that is used, and you can see a medium sized hand in the background of some of the photos, for scale.  The strike plate is about 4" high x 1 1/4" wide.
The pieces are quite substantial and suitable for exterior doors. Oval head screws included.
Makes a great gift!
I am the ONLY one who makes these.
Very few of these have EVER been made!  I am making more dogs and animals in this format, and you might consider getting more.  Please let me know if you are looking for an animal or dog that I have not yet made!  I am the ONLY one who makes these.
Any of these items are also available with a coppery brown patina, or with nickel plating.  There is a
small fee for adding a patina and an additional charge for nickel plating.
Nickel plating takes additional time as the pieces have to be sent out for plating.  Please contact me for charges.

I hand carve (in wax) and cast (in bronze) each of these special pieces by the "lost wax" method.  Of course each piece is signed and copyrighted.  If you buy more than one of my items, you can save at least on shipping.

Shipping:
The buyer (in the US) pays for most orders (shipped by Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation).  If you get the longer rod, there is an extra charge for shipping as it won't fit inside a Small Flat Rate Priority Mail Box.  You may combine purchases to save on shipping.  Buyers outside the US usually pay
(Canada) or
(most other countries) for Priority Mail International.
