The solid bronze knob exhibits deep color variations and the accompanying latch retains its original form, making this piece a unique relic of bygone craftsmanship.

Why You’ll Love It
If you seek genuine vintage charm with history built in, this set delivers. The worn bronze finish and weathered areas tell a story — perfect for adding character to a reclaimed door, an old farmhouse renovation, or an eclectic décor setting that embraces imperfections. Unlike new hardware, this piece offers authenticity and individuality. The size and scale make it substantial enough to make an impression, yet it remains versatile for many interior uses. Whether you restore it to function or use it as a display piece, it blends beautifully with rustic, coastal, or cottage-style interiors.

Shipping & Care
Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery; buyer is responsible for return shipping.
We pack all vintage hardware carefully in protective wrap with corner protection and sturdy box to ensure safe transit. Please handle installation gently — older hardware may need minor adjustment or cleaning before use. Avoid harsh chemical polishing that can strip historic patina; if desired, a gentle bronze-safe wax is recommended for maintenance.
