Antique Mortise Lock Set with Glass & Brass Door Knobs

Description :
This salvaged antique mortise lock set features a classic combination of a clear faceted glass knob paired with a worn brass knob, mounted on an original steel lock body. The decorative brass backplate includes a keyhole, suggesting it once functioned as a locking interior door set. The piece shows age through surface rust, patina, and wear, adding authentic character ideal for restoration or reuse in vintage-inspired interiors. The compact mortise design allows it to be recessed into a door, making it both functional and historically accurate for older homes.
