Period door knobs represent an intricate fusion of artistry and functionality, embodying the distinctive styles of various historical periods. These knobs, crafted from diverse materials like brass, bronze, nickel, and glass, showcase the evolution of design across the ages.

Brass door knobs, prevalent in the Georgian and Victorian eras, exude elegance and opulence. Their polished surfaces often boasted intricate detailing, from ornate patterns to intricate engravings, serving as symbols of luxury and sophistication.

Bronze door knobs, popular during the Arts and Crafts movement and the Art Nouveau period, emphasized natural motifs and organic shapes. Crafted with a rustic charm, these knobs often featured earthy tones and exquisite craftsmanship, reflecting the era's appreciation for handcrafted details.

Nickel door knobs gained prominence during the early 20th century, especially in the Art Deco era. Known for their sleek and streamlined designs, these knobs exuded a sense of modernity and sophistication, often incorporating geometric patterns and polished finishes.

Glass door knobs, seen across various periods, brought a touch of elegance and refinement to door hardware. Their translucent beauty and versatility allowed for a range of styles, from simple and minimalist to ornate and embellished, making them a timeless choice for both vintage and contemporary interiors.

Incorporating period door knobs into modern spaces or restoring them in historical homes adds a unique touch, preserving the essence of craftsmanship and design from different epochs while elevating the aesthetic appeal of any door.
