Norwalk 1884 Doorknob

Norwalk 1884 Doorknob

Bronze decorative doorknob made by Norwalk. This is an alternate version of the design seen in the 1899 catalogue. This type is shown in the 1884 catalogue along with The rosette with a circular repeated design. The doorknob features geometric and floral design elements typical of Eastlake style. The decoration carries to the underside of the knob with a more simple almost colonnade design on the underside. The doorknob measures 2 1/4"diam. It fits snuggly on a standard size square non-threaded shaft. A slightly smaller shaft would be ideal for it.

Fairly even dark patina.
