AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

These eight 19th-century door knobs, of Regency style, form an exceptional architectural ensemble due to their design, condition, and historical significance. Made of solid bronze or brass, each knob features a circular shape with concentric rings that reflect the sober yet elegant aesthetic of the French Second Empire. The square bases with mounting holes indicate they were designed for mortise locks, typical of solid wood doors in bourgeois residences or institutional buildings of the period.

What sets this set apart is its excellent condition, something quite rare in pieces over 130 years old. They retain their original patina, a testament to the passage of time, without losing functionality or structural integrity. Its generous size and substantial weight reinforce the quality of the materials used and the intention to convey solidity and prestige.

Today, this type of architectural elements holds significant value in heritage restoration projects, classical interior design, and collecting. They not only add authenticity to historic buildings but also serve as decorative elements that connect the present with the artisanal legacy of the 19th century. In a world dominated by industrial production, these knobs represent the permanence of detail, durability, and the art applied to everyday life.

Certified shipping and good packaging.
