Door Knob, Antique Dummy Door Knob, Cast Bronze Eastlake Era Russell, retailer One Each, ca 1875

This a beautiful cast bronze eightfold antique door knob on a wrought bronze Portland style door plate. This delightful 2-1/4" antique door knob has a gorgeous design and color, and was manufactured by Russell & Erwin (New Britain, CT) in about 1875. The door plate has it's full original and gorgeous patina measuring 7" x 2-1/4". Price is for this single piece of old American door hardware...cool as knob, hook or wall art!

This piece is a DUMMY KNOB Only. What is a Dummy Knob? A dummy knob is for pulling, not for turning. A dummy knob is a face mount pull knob that acts as a way to open/close a door, pull/push or side to side. Ideal applications are on closet doors, cabinet doors, barn doors or french doors...any door that has an alternate method of latching (like a ball catch), but needs a cool piece of original antique hardware retailer to pull it open and closed. Other applications include use as wall towel hooks, curtain tiebacks or just wall art! My antique dummy door knobs are all actual antique, period specific door knobs that have been mated to a door plate or rosette (the round door plates).

The reason why we do not provide mounting screws are:
1. Every application (french, cabinet, barn, pantry, wall, hook or art) is a bit different. There are differences in door construction, door materials (wood types), and door thicknesses. There is no "universal" screw type, size or material.
2. Aesthetically, clients may like the look of one screw type or color over another. Some clients may want the screws to blend in, and so make like black, silver, bronze, or bright brass face colors. Some may like the screws to "pop", and so go for opposing/contrasting colors. Some want to match existing, and some don't care at all.
3. For advice, almost all period screws that we deal with were single slot faced wood screws. They did come in three popular head styles: Flathead, Ovalhead, or Roundhead. Your choice will depend on the door plate type, as well as the look your are wanting. If you would like advice on a particular set, feel free to contact us.
