Quick Overview
The Monarch Butterfly Doorbell Ringer is cast in solid bronze using the age old art of foundry casting. The Monarch Butterfly is given a statuary oiled bronze finish, highlighted by hand and coated with a clear lacquer to protect its original finish. It has been signed by the artist, Michael Healy, to confirm its authenticity and quality craftsmanship. The Monarch Butterfly Doorbell Ringer was designed to capture this beautiful creature at rest by your front door.
All Michael Healy Door Knockers and Doorbell Ringers are cast in Solid Brass, Bronze, or Nickel Silver. Occasionally, a combination of these metals is used to add highlights and depth to a particular design.
Michael's original Door Knockers were cast in solid brass and bronze. In response to the expansion of both antique and contemporary finishes used in door hardware, the line was recently expanded to include Oiled Bronze and Nickel Silver designs.
Each Door Knocker receives a baked polyurethane coating or a statuary lacquer before leaving production. Similar to the protective finish used on cars, these coatings provide a shield against the elements. All of the alloys used by Michael Healy are ideal for outdoor use, allowing you to base your selection on personal preference alone.
