Why in the world did they paint all the hardware?!? Sometimes they were following the height of fashion when paint became affordable and available to the middles class. (Who wants to look at all those out of fashion and unsightly oak doors with solid brass hardware?)

At the turn of the last century a new approach to artistic expression in architecture flourished across Europe and North America. The Art Nouveau movement arose out of a critical response to the industrialization of cities and the authoritarian dominance of neo-classical designs that pervaded the Victorian world view.

Oh, the front door It is the most evocative feature of every home, a thing of both beauty and security, a silent sentinel of architectural devotion. Its intricate carvings or stark panels, the comfortably oversized knob and backplate, the swing of the hinges, even the species of wood, all were carefully considered to create that most engaging of thresholds. In truth, what good would a home even be without a good front door? And yet the most important feature of every door, its entire raison detre, is not even visible, for what good would a front door be without a good lock?

The late 19th century in America was a time of rapid and sometimes astounding changes in building technology. The furnaces of hardware manufacturers burned unceasingly, driven by the demand for products dreamed into existence by the vulpine innovators of the era.

Antique Gilbert Door Hardware

I'm fond of telling customers that I would never term anything I work with standard.

With their perfectly smooth surfaces and deep, lustrous tones, its little wonder that Bakelite and Catalin plastic artifacts are so desirable among collectors. This ubiquitous plastic can be found in everything from radios to cabinet pulls to costume jewelry, so collectors have a lot of avenues to explore.
