Door Knob Sets

The antique and vintage door knob sets offered for sale here are a "must have" if you are restoring an old house and also will allow authentic historic hardware for any additions or even a new home. Your plans may, or may not, require a latch or lock with the set. For items that include only the door knobs and door plates you may wish to also purchase a lock/latch to make a complete set. These "sets" are sometimes combined for a pleasing appearance rather than as they were manufactured. The old timers took creative license in this respect and I continue that tradition.

To better see all the details of approximately 100 beautiful door knob sets I would suggest that you select one item and then take advantage of the arrows at the top of that page. You will be able to flip through all the larger photos just like in a catalog!

Antique Pressed Glass Bath Doorknob Set – Complete with Screws

The three glass doorknob sets I have listed here together (DS1161, DS1162 and DS1163) are not identical but pretty darn close!

DS1152 Vintage Concentric Steel Doorknobs and Plates

Vintage Concentric Steel Doorknobs and Plates

This is a quite handsome set with bright brass banding on the doorknobs and plates set against the mottled dull brass background. Happily it does show its age – about 80 years old! Knobs and plates are heavy pressed steel in very good condition with no bends, breaks or heavy scratches. Note that,... click picture for more info
DS1148 Simple Brass and Porcelain Doorknob Set

Simple Brass and Porcelain Doorknob Set

Sweet and simple with no nonsense!  This charming set pairs white porcelain doorknobs with plain brass rosettes. Although the doorknob shafts are bronze where the rosettes are brass, the metal colors are a good match.  The doorknobs are quite a bit older than the rosettes as evidenced by blemishes... click picture for more info
DS1146 Art Deco 1930’s Glass Doorknob Set with Mortise Lock

Art Deco 1930’s Glass Doorknob Set with Mortise Lock

This set has the simple Art Deco styling so popular in the 1930’s.  The sparkling pressed glass doorknobs do not have a single chip or scratch to the glass yet the steel shafts have almost all of the old plating worn away. The elegantly simple steel door plates still have a bronze blush which gives... click picture for more info
DS1145 Very Unusual Circa 1800's Ornate Door Set with Flowers

Very Unusual Circa 1800's Ornate Door Set with Flowers

It’s a shame the maker of this lock set didn’t sign their name to it! The metal art work with bunches of flowers and foliage is stunning with just a bit of geometrics to set it all off.  When I received this set the thumb turn and keyhole cover were missing. Although the lock face plate, doorknob... click picture for more info
DS1133 3 Sets Dainty Doorknobs, Plates and Mortise Locks with Key

3 Sets Dainty Doorknobs, Plates and Mortise Locks with Key

These door sets were probably manufactured in the 1930’s when doorknobs and plates became a bit smaller in size.  This hardware has a refined elegance that was popular during that era.   The knobs are darker (chocolate colored) than they appear in the photos with worn brass plating here and there... click picture for more info
DS1107 Vintage Monogrammed Cast Bronze Doorknob Sets

Vintage Monogrammed Cast Bronze Doorknob Sets

These high quality doorknobs once graced an upscale home or business (perhaps a hotel?) in the early 1900’s.  They are made by Yale and one side has the letters L B in raised script while the other has a plain face.  All in heavy cast bronze they have a lovely old patina.  Pardon the camera flash... click picture for more info
DS1080 Antique Clay Doorknobs with Bronze Eastlake Rosettes

Antique Clay Doorknobs with Bronze Eastlake Rosettes

I can see this set being equally stunning on both a white painted or dark wood finished old door!  On a dark brown they give a mellow refined look but mounted on white they would be a striking contrast.  The knobs are solid dark brown glazed mineral clay teamed with cast bronze Eastlake designed... click picture for more info
DS1077 Vintage Entry Doorknob Set by Lockwood “Essex” Design

Vintage Entry Doorknob Set by Lockwood “Essex” Design

This vintage doorknob set was made by Lockwood around 1914 in their dainty Essex pattern.  The large exterior plate greats your guests as they enter and the matching knob and keyhole escutcheon bids them farewell!   All portions of this set are made of wrought bronze with a medium caramel patina. ... click picture for more info
DS1061 3 Eastlake Doorknob Sets with Locks – Entry, Passage & Closet

DS1058 Rustic Antique Doorknobs & Doorplates - Porcelain

Rustic Antique Doorknobs & Doorplates - Porcelain

A perfect compliment (perhaps closets that have been added?) to a home with rim locks and the same old white doorknobs. Doorknobs show charming age spots and plates (pressed steel) have a rusty iron look. A spindle with steel set screws is included but not pictured. I can put together additional... click picture for more info
DS1054 Victorian Antique Keyed Lock Doorknob Set – “Creston”

Victorian Antique Keyed Lock Doorknob Set – “Creston”

Reading Hardware thought this design was so beautiful (and we agree!) they obtained a patent for it on April 23, 1901 and stamped the information on the shaft of every doorknob made. This set is made of wrought bronze with a copper plating. So pretty and elegant! This set has been polished to bring... click picture for more info
DS1039 Victorian Antique Entry Doorknob Set 1890 “Windsor”

Victorian Antique Entry Doorknob Set 1890 “Windsor”

This beautiful set with antique doorknobs and matching entry door plate were made by Reading Hardware in 1890 and referenced as their “Windsor” design. Lots of flowers and geometrics but the style differs quite a bit from the 1897 “Windsor”. I doubt that Reading Hardware thought about the confusion... click picture for more info
DS1033 “Verocchio” Italian Renaissance Antique Doorknob Set

“Verocchio” Italian Renaissance Antique Doorknob Set

Manufactured by Russell & Erwin in 1897, this stunning set is from their Italian Renaissance School of Design and was named “Verocchio”.

Two simple sets of heavy wrought iron door plates and white porcelain antique doorknobs. The iron has been left with a reddish rust patina and then given a coat of paste wax.

BLW "Oriental" Antique Cast Iron Doorknobs and Plates

Made by Branford Lock Works c.1880, this intricate pattern was named “Oriental” by the manufacturer.  Some refer to it as the Bamboo pattern due to the stalk of bamboo that bisects the knob pattern.

DS1005 Mineral Clay Doorknobs, Rosettes and Latch Set

Mineral Clay Doorknobs, Rosettes and Latch Set

These variegated mineral clay knobs are frequently (and incorrectly) referred to as Bennington and/or Rockingham doorknobs. The names Bennington, Rockingham and Fenton refer to pottery manufacturers who did not make doorknobs with a shank such as this. There are other differences relative to how... click picture for more info

Sparkling glass doorknob set - probably from the 1930s.  There are some bubbles inside the glass so they might be older.  No scratches or chips noted on knobs.  Door plates have a few scratches (see photo) but should not be very noticeable when installed.  Newer replacement... click picture for more info
