While cast iron pulls were cheap and common during the Victorian era, the best quality hardware was always made in cast bronze like this pair of 1880s bin pulls.

Warm natural bronze finish. 3-1/8" center to center spacing. [R0485 ]

Set of Black Glass Pulls (16) & Knobs (2), c1930

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 10:00:00 PST

In contrast to the sparkling faceted glass hardware common in the 1920s and 1930s, these pulls and knobs feature a smooth round design that is almost modern in its clean lines and striking presence. It is rare to find so many pulls in one lot like this, and they'll make a powerful first impression as well as live up to years of daily use. 3" center to center spacing.[R0486 ]

These small but robust half-moon pulls are chrome-plated white metal and retain traces of their original blue coloring in some of the relief lines. Classic examples of Streamline design, they would look great in a project from the 1930s into the 1950s.

Set of 4 Scrolling Cast Brass Hall Tree Hooks, c1895

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 10:00:00 PST

While these four hooks share a lovely scrolling design that is both elegant and simple at the same time, they also vary from each other in small ways like having two different bases and some subtle repairs. But it is hard to argue with their beautiful lines and rich, authentic patina. In case you are wondering what makes a hook a "hall tree hook" it would be having a single attached post or threaded bolt on the back that mounts with a nut from behind - try installing one of these on a wall and you'll see why they work best on pieces of furniture instead. [R0488 ]

Perhaps the most common and popular cast iron hook from the turn-of-the-century era, this generic double coat hook design with its acorn-shaped tips can still be found in countless old classrooms, churches, storefronts, backrooms, and homes across the country today.[R0489 ]

Set of 3 Cast Iron Eastlake Coat Hooks, c1880

Ornate Cast Iron Hooks w/Porcelain Tips, c1875 (7 avail.)

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 10:00:00 PST

The wonderfully modeled Ivy or Morning Glory motif that winds over all the surfaces of this robust hook makes it one of our all-time favorite designs, which could date as far back as the 1860s. And the white porcelain knobs with decorative brass retainer washers just add more to the period flair of these special hooks. And then to find seven available at one time - this lot is a rare opportunity for top-notch hooks that your grandchildren will want when it is time to pass along the good stuff.[R0491 ]

Set of 6 Decorative Bronze Hall Tree Hooks, c1880

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 10:00:00 PST

Almost organic in their striking and somewhat aggressive profile, these solid bronze hall tree hooks feature interesting decoration along their sides, including flowers and a terminal volute. Each backplate includes a small stud that pierces the mounting surface and prevents the hook from spinning in place. In case you are wondering what makes a hook a "hall tree hook" it would be having a single attached post or threaded bolt on the back that mounts with a nut from behind - try installing one of these on a wall and you'll see why they work best on pieces of furniture instead.[R0493 ]
