The Lion Head Door Knocker is an iconic piece from CIFIAL’s history, that was particularly appreciated by American costumers as a door knocker for their homes, as it conveys sophistication and power.
In the past, it was cast in green sand mould and then finished by craftsmen who manually eliminated all possible defects derived from the manufacturing process, making each piece unique.
A few years after its launch, the clothing brand “Lion of Porches" chose this piece to adom the doors of its shops. It quickly became the brand image, and was so well-recognised that the brand had miniatures produced as gifts for its costumers.
Although this piece is recognised worldwide as a symbol of the "Lion of Porches" brand, many people are unaware of its origins in CIFIAL, at the time called "CIF - Centro Industrial de Ferragens".
