These handsome knobs are from the very early 20th century. They were covered with paint (since removed) so the steel has not turned dark from hands turning them and there is still a bit of the original copper plating in the central areas. These knobs would be excellent for those who want to wire... click picture for more info |

Simple knobs with just a touch of elegance from the 1920’s +/-. The recessed band has a tiny field background so be sure and enlarge the photo to see it. These knobs were originally bronze plated but the plating has worn off all but the central area by loving hands over the years. They are now a... click picture for more info |

This door knob is quite old but I do not know its exact age. It would definitely be before 1880 and has aged to a very dark patina. The incised art work with flowing leaves and a string of tulips in the center is still clear. This knob is solid (not hollow) brass or bronze with a very dark patina.... click picture for more info |

This is a very unusual set consisting of an oval knob and a drop ring handle. Based upon the footed shafts I would assume it would have been used for a rim lock. It is made of solid heavy cast brass with a dark caramel patina. Tiny dings have darkened with age. Note that the holes for the set screw... click picture for more info |

These lovely octagon door knobs were made around 1915 and have acquired a gorgeous caramel patina! I love them just the way they are but they could be polished to a silky gold if you choose to do so. Only a couple very light scratches and no dents. A steel spindle and new aged brass set screws are... click picture for more info |

Hard to find silver colored fancy door knobs made by Corbin around 1900. These are made of steel with nickel plating. There is some wear of the nickel down to steel on the sides and bottoms with rust damage on one side of each knob. Enlarge the smaller photo to see that side on each knob. Mount... click picture for more info |

Sometimes known as Ebony, Jet or Aradh knobs, these glossy black doorknobs are made of red mineral clay that has a thick black glaze - similar to a ceramic item. These knobs are for use with an antique rim lock and were used from the late 1800’s to the early 1900’s. The flared shaft goes against... click picture for more info |

Sometimes called porcelain doorknobs these are not porcelain at all. They are made of pottery clay which is then fired with a black glaze. Because of the unique shaft these doorknobs will not fit standard mortise locks. This line of hardware was made by the Chicago Hardware Company with the lock... click picture for more info |

These fantastic swirling colors were obtained by the use of different color mineral clays which were formed and then glazed. There are no two alike. These doorknobs are frequently (and incorrectly) referred to as “Bennington” but antique hardware manufacturers referenced them as Mineral Clay... click picture for more info |

These dainty little knobs seem to have started life in Europe around the turn of the century (1800/1900) since I cannot find any door plates that seem to fit them. They are pale pink with multicolored flowers and some gold gilding around the edges. The gold has worn off more on one than the other... click picture for more info |

This set is quite unusual and the composition has me perplexed. They appear to be made of red clay with a tiger eye motif that was applied during the glazing or they might even be stone. The shaft is cast iron. There are some minor dings and scratches on the faces of the knobs but unless you are... click picture for more info |

These door knobs have a very delicate eight fold design of the quality Yale & Towne was known for. Made of wrought bronze in the very early 1900’s they remain in excellent condition with no dents, scratches or damage. When found these knobs had a very uneven and unattractive patina so they have... click picture for more info |

These doorknobs were made by P & F Corbin in their romantic “Holland” pattern. It is shown in their 1905 hardware catalog for the Finnish School of Design and they would have been manufactured around that period of time. Victorian "house jewelry" at its finest!

These knobs are for use with an antique rim lock and were the most common used during the mid to late 1800’s. The flared shaft goes against the surface mounted lock and the straight shaft goes in a rosette for the other side of the door.

Although the black glazed knobs were used frequently these smaller 2” diameter knobs are very hard to find. To find them in such premium condition is even more unusual. They still have a blush of the original bronze wash on the iron shafts. Perfect for a pantry or screen door or anywhere a small... click picture for more info |
