These knobs were prized for their durability and elegant appearance, often chosen to create a striking contrast against wooden door frames. Craftsmanship: The production of these knobs involved a meticulous process of molding and glazing the porcelain before a final kiln firing, resulting in the hard, glossy surface that has withstood the test of time. The metal shank, attached post-firing, showcases the integrated design popular in its era. Condition Details: Porcelain knob: Minor scratches and scuffs, consistent with age and use Metal shank: Shows patina of rust and corrosion, structurally sound Attachment end: Some metal deformation, potential chipping (see photos) Perfect For: Architectural salvage enthusiasts Historical home restoration projects Vintage decor collectors Film and theater prop designers Additional Notes: While in fair to good condition, this door knob shows the expected signs of age, which contribute to its historical authenticity. For restoration projects, the metal components could be treated to remove rust, and the porcelain could be carefully polished. However, maintaining its current condition preserves its historical integrity. Don't miss this opportunity to own a genuine piece of architectural history.
