The 19th century was an era of unequaled architectural creativity. A true appreciation of well designed and well cast architectural fittings would be understood by the creators of the 19th century as "Industrial Artwork".
They lived in a time when it was an expected and accepted fact of economic life that even something as 
utilitarian as a doorknob should be aesthetically beautiful, as well as functional.
These door knobs, mail slots, door bells, hinges are viewed as Art by home restorers, architectural historians and collectors alike. These unique items are for those looking for that missing piece of hardware to complete a project or just to add a unique touch.
Unique creations are 'in the works'! Please check our website often for new items and EMAIL us with any questions.
As an Antiques broker - Instead of buying your antiques and collectibles for little as some dealers do - I will act as your agent, selling on your behalf and getting the the best possible price by researching the item, getting an appraisal from a licensed appraiser (many times from Skinners in Boston) and selling it using the best venue and getting the best possible price for you which would be by selling to collectors,or retail customers and sometimes selling it through the best auction that would work best for your particular item.
