Corbin Madrid Doorknob

Corbin Madrid Doorknob

Cast bronze doorknob made by Corbin.  Madrid design. Cir. 1895. It features a very Victorian design with a shell in the center and floral elements around it over a stippled background. The doorknob measures 2 1/4"diam. It fits on a standard size non-threaded square shaft. The knob is in good condition with fairly even patina. A few dark spots on the edge and bottom. There is some wear on the neck, but this should not affect the functionality.

This Corbin Madrid Doorknob is an antique item and may show wear due to age. This may include scratches, pitting, patina, finish loss, rust or other general wear. We attempt to include any significant damage beyond regular wear within the description. We make every effort to clean as much paint, dirt and rust off of items while still leaving as much of the original patina as possible. 

Corbin

P&F Corbin was founded by brothers Philip and Frank Corbin in New Britain, CT. in 1851. Interestingly, Philip previously worked for the company that would become Russell and Erwin, which Corbin would merge with in 1902. It ran with a number of subsidiary companies in the 1900's including Corbin Cabinet Lock Co., Corbin Screw Company and even a Corbin Motor Vehicle Corporation! Corbin is still in business today under ownership of Assa Abloy under the name Corbin Russwin.
