This antique mortise lock has loads of geometric detail with an Eastlake flair! Made by P & F Corbin it is shown in their 1895 catalog with both the Ceylon and Canton design door hardware but is found with other designs as well so don't limit yourself to just those designs. With so much detail it goes well with many other doorknobs and plates!
You can find other hardware in this pattern by entering the keyword Ceylon in the search box to your left.
These locks have been taken apart, cleaned and operate perfectly. Lock face, strike and deadbolt are steel with a bronze wash (plating) that remains substantially intact. The photos are representative of condition since stock is constantly changing. Lock casing is cast iron. Lock is reversible for right or left hand doors. Remove one screw, flip the strike over and close the lock again. Ready for another 100 years of use!
