Add a little interest to your door by using an antique door knob. Whether keeping with the theme of an older home or just for a conversation piece, these door knobs are a great addition to any door.

Glass door knobs are always a popular choice for any home, but especially for Victorian homes. These door knobs were introduced in the late 1800's and were common until about 1930.

These beautiful doorknobs come in a variety of styles and colors. Some of the styles for these doorknobs are round, octagonal, and oval.

Each style can have several different designs to the glass ranging from snowflake patterns and gem facets to a simple beading along the edge.

Besides clear these knobs can be found in a variety of different colors like amber, green, and blue. Some colors may be more difficult to find than clear door knobs, and may have less design variety as well.

For a more unique door knob, consider metal knobs. Some of these door knobs have very detailed and beautiful pictures engraved on them like a lion head. Others have intricate designs printed on them in a variety of styles. The amazing antique door knob is a work of art on its own and greatly complements any home.

Where can i get new "antique" type door knobs?
The old ones I removed were 3" x 4" square housing type that mount on the outside of the door. The doors are too thin to use standard type knobs, and I dont want to replace with more antiques because they are not as reliable. i would prefer new ones that are like the antiques.
