Vintage Victorian doorknob rosette reimagined. Red vintage glass stone. 2" natural brass cuff.
This doorknob rosette is unlike any other I've seen with its hexagonal shape. It almost feels Egyptian in its design. Truly one of a kind.
Victorian doorknob rosettes are a beautiful piece of history from the 19th century, reflecting the ornate style of the Victorian era. These decorative plates were typically made of metal and served to enhance the look of doorknobs, which were often elaborate in design themselves.
During the Victorian period, which lasted from around 1837 to 1901, there was a big emphasis on craftsmanship and detail in home decor. Rosettes were used to add a touch of elegance to doors, with many featuring intricate patterns and designs.
These rosettes not only had aesthetic appeal but also helped protect the door from wear and tear around the knob.
