Sargent 1885-1888 Floral Doorknob

Sargent 1885-1888 Floral Doorknob

Cast brass doorknob made by Sargent. It features an Eastlake style floral design over a textured background. Quite a stunning design, this was made in a few different versions. This is the drum shaped version shown in the 1885 and 1888 catalogues but unnamed. The edge is textured  which gives nice grip and the bottom is decorated as well. The bottom decoration mirrors the rosette that it is shown with in the catalogue. It measures 2 1/4" diam.  The doorknob fits on a standard non-threaded square shaft.

The knob is in excellent condition with nice patina.
