Vintage Lion's Head Door Knocker Brass Waste Basket

Even the wastebasket got to be beautiful in some houses — which tells you everything about how those houses were kept.

This one is solid brass, 12", with pierced detailing and a lion's head with a ring handle on each side, like a pair of small door knockers. Use it for paper, for umbrellas, for rolled-up drawings. It outranks its job.

Vintage brass lion's-head waste basket, 12". $75.

Each piece is vintage or antique and has lived a life before finding its way to Tallmadge Ave; natural signs of age, wear, patina, and imperfections are part of its character and are to be expected. All pieces are sold as-is, and any notable condition issues are described in the product listing. That said, if it arrives damaged or isn't as described, we'll refund you in full, including shipping — since each piece is one of a kind, we can't simply send a replacement. Otherwise, returns are accepted within 14 days of delivery. Questions any time at christine@tallmadgeave.com — we're a two-person shop, and we answer.
