"XXX" Door Chime, patent 1910

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 10:00:00 PDT

Made of nickel-plated steel with black enamel. It has a brisk ring and a novel "XXX" logo.

Crystal Knob Set, c.1930

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 10:00:00 PDT

4 sets available with keyholes; 2 sets available without keyholes. These sets are notable for their small, simple escutcheons and their clear, lovely crystal knobs. They'd be pretty anywhere; their smaller scale makes them especially appropriate for French doors or closets. See also AH1096, the same pattern.

Privacy Set with Crystal Knob, c.1930

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 10:00:00 PDT

The same pattern as AH1097, but nickel plated. A thumbturn and mortise make it into a privacy set.

Ornate Knobs and Small Rosettes, c.1900

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 10:00:00 PDT

Before you become too entranced by these admittedly captivating doorsets, note the wee dimensions of their rosettes-- they won't come anywhere near covering a modern, standard bore. If that's not a concern, come closer... they're quite pretty and would be especially beautiful on French doors or closets

Oval Doorset, c.1920

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 10:00:00 PDT

These simple and elegant doorsets would work well in a number of different styles of homes. The stamped brass has taken on a warm patina while remaining shiny.

Brass- Face Mortise Lock, c.1920

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 10:00:00 PDT

The faces of these mortises are shiny brass that has darkened just a bit-- very nice.

Classical Revival Doorsets, c.1910

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 10:00:00 PDT

Brass plated steel, darkened and a bit worn, makes a rich finish on these doorsets. Both knobs and escutcheons are bordered with a simple ribbon-and-reed pattern.

Regal Doorsets, c.1900

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 10:00:00 PDT

The circle motif at the top and bottom of the escutcheons echoes the pleasantly simple design of the knobs. Made of stamped steel with brass plating. The brass has acquired a patina and is lightly worn.

Beaded Door Set, c.1910

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 10:00:00 PDT

Made of stamped brass (now heavily patinated), these door sets are given a subtle but handsome decorative touch by the beaded borders that surround both the knobs and the escutcheons.

Four Sparkly Yellow Knobs, c.1955

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 10:00:00 PDT

The smooth surfaces on these mod knobs belie the riot of sparkly inclusions captured within. The bases are chrome plated and enhance the glam effect.

"The Commodore" Door Knob, c.1920

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 10:00:00 PDT

Our best guess is that this cast brass knob is from the Commodore Hotel in New York City, but we don't know for sure. We do know, however, that it's a charming piece of collectable vintage hardware (and we do recommend that you purchase it for a collection rather than with the intention of using it-- finding the right spindle and rosette won't be easy).

Unique Undermount Basin. c.1895

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 10:00:00 PDT

Basin width: 23.5" (25" including rim). Basin, front to back: 15.75" (17.25" including rim). Basin depth: 6". Drain is standard 1.5" waste. Made of nickel-plated copper and in lovely condition, this undermount basin is a hard-to-find item indeed. Note the appealing design of the overflow.

Push-button Deco Cabinet Latch, c.1935

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 10:00:00 PDT

When the off-white buttons are pressed, this latch's catch is released. With its snappy modern chrome and black enamel styling it would be a great touch on the medicine cabinet in a Deco bathroom.

Arts and Crafts Entry Set, c.1900

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 10:00:00 PDT

The crystal knob is clear and sparkling; the brass escutcheon and thumblatch are patinated and a bit worn. It's an attractive combination. The mortise lock has been cleaned and overhauled; note that it uses a skeleton key so should be supplemented with another lock for security. Made by Reading Hardware.

Pair of Bamboo Pattern Hinges, c.1880

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 10:00:00 PDT

Made by Branford Lock Works. A few traces of copper plating remain on these gorgeous cast iron hinges. The design is so nice that we're tempted to call them "suitable for framing", but that would be odd.
