What to Look For

Check the measurements carefully, including knob diameter, projection, rose size and spindle dimensions, as older rim-lock furniture may not match modern fittings. Confirm whether the listing includes a complete pair, roses, spindle, screws and any lock or keep shown in the photographs. Look closely for dents, flattened edges, cracks, worn plating, verdigris and uneven colour; unlaquered brass may develop further patina. Ask whether the knobs turn freely and whether the spindle is straight. Check for replaced screws, filled holes, solder repairs or mixed components, particularly with assembled pairs. Review photographs for maker’s marks, and confirm postage costs, packaging and the seller’s returns policy.

Buying Tips

When comparing Victorian brass door knobs, check whether the price is for one knob, a pair or a larger set, and confirm the stated diameter, rose size, spindle length and fixing method. Read descriptions for looseness, cracks, pitting, worn plating, lacquer and later replacements. Examine close photographs for matching colour and fittings, and ask about repairs or missing parts. Check postage costs, packaging, dispatch times and the seller’s returns policy, especially for heavy architectural salvage.
