Antique Brass-Plated Steel Doorknob Set – 2 ¼" x 4"

Description :
This antique doorknob set features two round brass-plated steel knobs mounted on a square-threaded spindle. Measuring 2 ¼" in diameter and 4" in length, the knobs display significant surface wear and flaking, with exposed underlying metal and remnants of white paint around the ferrules. Once a gleaming finish, the plating has aged into a mottled patina that reveals the hardware's industrial character. Though worn, this set is structurally intact and ready for restoration or reuse in vintage-style décor.
