"Arabic" Pattern & Variations by
Mallory, Wheeler & Co. (New Haven, CT)
Mallory, Wheeler & Company
was established in 1834. In less than 15 years they had won the highest award,
the Gold Medal, from the American Institute in New York for their reversible
lock. In the following 15 years, they won several silver and bronze medals in
competition and again, the Gold Medal for reversible locks and wrought iron
padlocks in their presentation at the Paris Exposition in 1878. Sargent and
Company at one time (circa 1880) acted as sole agent for Mallory and Wheeler
goods; Shannon and Sons in New York advertised their goods in 1884 and 1888.
Their expertise in the field of ornamental hardware was undisputed at home and
abroad. Due to an unfortunate set of circumstances that depleted the company's
resources, Mallory, Wheeler and Company was bankrupt by 1913. The winds of
fortune see Mallory, Wheeler ornamented hardware today commanding the highest
prices paid for ornamental Victorian hardware. (Reprinted from Antique
