Item:233200577275Vintage Victorian Deco/Nouveaudoor hardware set #3 . Beautiful, elegant vintage, historical old and antique door hardware set consisting of two lovely, classy 12 pt crystal glass knobs with brass collars, two Victorian/Art Deco steel door plates with antique brass plating; spindle and set screws, all cleaned up--- so you don't have
to, and ready to install. These antiques are as popular today as they were "back in the Day", if not more so. AND, so much prettier and better- quality than those cheaply-made reproductions you see at some retail stores, with cheap metal of some kind and plain, regular glass knobs that have no sparkle.
Each back plate measures about 6-3/8" H x 1.75" W; with
classic keyhole in each as shown, and a definite bold Art Deco or Victorian design. Knobs are about 2" diameter, do not spin in collars; no obvious chips or cracks; feel great in your hand; all carefully cleaned to bring out the crystal sparkle. Spindle screws may not be originals. Not new or perfect; I consider this set to be very good vintage
condition, consistent with age and use. I encourage questions before
buying; I am no expert on these, and I want you to be pleased with your purchase. These
oldies were originally used with a "mortise" lock, but you don't need
one; a "tube latch" will work just fine on modern doors. You can
find tube latches at Ace Hardware or I can provide either tube latch or mortise lock for small additional cost. Beautiful vintage antique door hardware that will make your door look special! I love these oldies and so will you!! See notes below. INSTALLATION OPTIONS: On a MODERN door, you
would need what's called a "tube latch" (see pic 5), with a SQUARE hole
in the latch (some newer tube latches on newer door hardware do not
have a square hole); to fit the square spindle (the rod that connects
the two door knobs). The tube latch inserts into the edge of the door
near the knob holes and then the spindle goes thru the square hole and
connects the two knobs, which then will turn the latch. If you
have an OLDER door, you may have what's called a "mortise" lock (Pic6), a slim metal "box" that slides in the edge of the door and the
spindle connecting the two knobs goes thru the square hole, similar to
the tube latch operation noted above.
