Living in coastal New England, shell hunting is a way of life and we'll always be on the look out for the perfect shell. However, we nearly considered the quest complete when this beauty washed in to our lives: a large solid, oil bronzed door knocker sand cast from the most lovely weathervane sea scallop shell. Larger in size than a bay scallop, these are the large ruffled beauties you'll find mostly on Pacific beaches.
This knocker is handmade, and masterfully done; we love that the design is not overly detailed, but instead has the worn-in but classic charm of a coastal town. Our favorite feature is the subtle, smoothed out texture, exactly like finding a scallop shell on the beach, battered from a lifetime of stories at sea.
While we shell hunted high and low to determine the maker on this piece - there is an ornate S makers mark on the back - we came up short. Heavy duty, this particular shell measures 5" across and produces a nice rich knock. Backed with a mounting piece, this requires two standard screws to mount this on your door. Commence coastal charm.
