FAQ

"House Parts" is our name for hardware and other old-house-inspired stuff - all built with the same quality as our lighting fixtures.

Our goal is to fill a niche for tasteful, functional, and authentic hardware and other old-house accessories - and to do so with affordable prices. Considering the period-style merchandise generally available, we feel like we're staking out new territory.

On one end of the spectrum, there's imported and cheaply made brass hardware. Quality is typically poor (uneven at best), functionality and durability are afterthoughts, good taste is absent, and the finish is almost always only polished brass with a lacquer over it. The price - maybe - is good.

On the other end, many businesses have sprung up that do beautiful work reproducing old-house specialties. But as artisans who essentially create their good work by hand, they offer products that often cost more than most folks can afford.

We think we've found the middle ground.
