French Solid Brass Door Knob – Empire Style – circa 1920–1950 ⸻ Description Elegant French door knob in Empire style, crafted from solid brass. The knob is richly decorated with acanthus leaves and a beaded border — motifs typical of early 20th-century French neoclassical design. This piece is heavy and well made (approx. 250 g), showing a warm, natural patina — not gilded, but pure brass with an authentic aged glow. Originating from France, likely from a stately home or townhouse. Fitted with an internal thread for mounting on a square spindle. A beautiful element for restoration, interior decoration, or as a collectible object. ⸻ Details • Origin: France • Period: circa 1920–1950 • Style: Empire / Neoclassical • Material: Solid brass • Dimensions: • Length: ± 11 cm • Knob diameter: ± 6 cm • Weight: ± 250 g • Color / Finish: Golden brass with natural patina • Condition: Very good, with light wear consistent with age • Mounting: Internal thread (for installation on a spindle)
