Our Exclusively Irish Failte Shamrock Door Knocker - Polished brass is the perfect piece for your home! Bring a dose of Irish hospitality into your life by having this charming door knocker on your front door. This piece carries Irish cultural significance through its design, which combines the well-known shamrock with the “Failte!” phrase. The shamrock is a symbol associated with Ireland and St. Patrick's Day. It is believed to have been used by St. Patrick to illustrate the concept of the Holy Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) to the pagan Irish, and has since become a symbol of Irish heritage and culture. "Failte" is the Irish word for "welcome." As a symbol, it represents hospitality, warmth, and friendliness, and is often associated with Ireland and the Irish people's traditional reputation for generosity and kindness to visitors. It conveys a message of open arms, inviting people in and making them feel at home - ideal for a door knocker.
