Norwalk 1899 Doorknob Var.

Norwalk 1899 Doorknob Var.

Bronze doorknob made by Norwalk. This is an alternate version of the design seen in the 1874 catalogue. This type is shown in the 1899 catalogue. The doorknob features a version of the fourfold geometric and floral design, using the same elements in a slightly different way. It is typical of Eastlake style. The design continues onto the underside of the knob. The doorknob measures 2 1/4"diam. It would fit best on a slightly smaller than standard square non-threaded shaft.

Fairly even patina. The edges show a little wear.

This 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. Photos shown are of actual item you will receive.
