  4. These are great knockers! Or door decoratives (lion). I often notice and enjoy them, or special door handles... and that would make another interesting subject for a collaborative blog...

  8. An angel, one lion and a sweet dove ( well, I imagine it is a stylished bird!), amazing details for doors, all very polish and well care.They are adorable details, I imagine there good produts to polish and it doesn't get much work. :)

  14. The lion is a nice one. He does not look too silly like some of the others we've seen in Livorno!

  16. All three are beautiful, but I like the angel handle (or is it a knocker?) best. I'm glad you finally noticed it. Love the textures of the different woods too.
