xFirst Edition
Spring 2026 Release
For customers who already have a Yorkshire Foundry base installed.
This is the first edition of what we hope will be an annual Easter Egg head on its own. It attaches to your existing base using our interchangeable system. No new holes. No additional drilling. A simple swap that takes seconds.
At its centre sits the egg, framed by the small signs of early spring. Daffodils opening. Tulips pushing through. The quiet shift that comes when the light changes and the garden begins again.
The detail is deliberate rather than decorative. You notice it when you step closer.
Cast in the same solid metal we use across the range, with the warm brass tone most people are looking for. It arrives bright and will deepen naturally with time and touch. If you prefer it lighter, a quick polish will bring it back.
FAQs
x| Where are your products made? | All of our pieces are designed in Yorkshire and cast by a family-run foundry on the edge of the North York Moors. |
| How are your products made? | Each design begins as a digital sculpture in CAD, then printed on a high-resolution 3D printer. This allows for exceptional detail and complex undercuts not possible with traditional mould-making. The prints are used in the lost-wax investment casting process, before every piece is finished, checked, and packed by hand. Our family-run foundry is aerospace certified, working to exacting standards; your door knocker may well have shared an oven with the impeller of a hypercar turbo unit or a component destined for a jet engine. |
| What materials do you use? | We use AB2, a marine-grade bronze alloy. Bronze is primarily copper with tin, whereas brass is copper with zinc. Bronze is harder and more durable, making it ideal for fine detail and long-term use. Although technically bronze, our alloy has the warm golden colour people recognise as brass. |
| Why do you use AB2? | AB2 was originally developed for ship propellers and marine fittings. It is strong, weather-resistant, and captures fine detail beautifully. It develops a natural patina over time, but can also be polished back to a bright shine. We choose it because it makes products that are built to last a lifetime while staying true to the craft. The surface evolves with use and weather, embracing a sense of beauty in change, character, and imperfection. |
| Which doors can your knockers be fitted to? | Our knockers can be installed on timber, composite, or uPVC doors. All fixings are supplied along with clear instructions. |
| How do I care for the finish? | No maintenance is needed. Left untreated, the surface will develop a natural patina that tells the story of its life outdoors. This slow change is part of the appeal, echoing the Japanese idea of wabi-sabi — valuing the imperfect and the timeworn. If you prefer a brighter look, the metal can be gently polished and buffed. |
| Are the knockers interchangeable? | Yes. Our proprietary system allows you to start with a kit and then collect interchangeable heads. They can be swapped easily and even displayed indoors as decorative pieces. |
