Knobs and Knockers

As mentioned in the previous post, Georgian Dublin is filled with great architectural gems. However, it is often the details of the remaining townhouses that make strolling through the neighborhood a great time.

While on vacation, I was walking through Fitzwilliam Square on my way back to the hotel. I noticed this door not only for the color, but the ornate knocker that was being used. I am not sure if it was an original or if someone had gone to Knobs and Knockers to get something updated and stylish when they were restoring the building.

At any rate, the door knocker is pretty incredible. There a photo of the entire door online as well.
