As the brass is unlacquered, the finish is designed to naturally age and develop a unique patina over time, creating the authentic character associated with traditional solid brass door furniture.

Traditional Beehive Design

The classic beehive design is characterised by distinctive concentric reeded detailing, creating a timeless appearance inspired by traditional Victorian door furniture.

The detailing continues through to the tall backplates, with decorative reeding positioned at the top and bottom of each plate to create a coordinated period appearance.

Combined with the warmth of polished brass, this traditional styling makes the knobs particularly well suited to Victorian, Edwardian, Georgian and other period-inspired interiors.

Unlacquered Polished Brass – A Living Finish

These door knobs are made from solid brass with an unlacquered polished finish.

Unlike lacquered brass, there is no protective clear coating preventing the surface from naturally reacting with the atmosphere and everyday handling. The brass will therefore gradually darken, mellow and develop a natural patina.

This ageing process is intentional and is part of the character of genuine unlacquered brass. Areas that are regularly handled may age differently from less frequently touched areas, meaning every set will gradually develop its own individual appearance.

Natural variations in colour and tone are a characteristic of this living finish and should not be considered a defect.

If preferred, the brass can also be periodically polished with a suitable brass polish to restore a brighter appearance.

Unsprung Mortice Door Knobs

These door knobs are unsprung, allowing the knobs to rotate freely.

For the best operation, we recommend pairing them with a heavy sprung tubular latch or suitable mortice lock capable of returning the knobs to their resting position.
