Lot of 10 Mixed Black Door Knob Sets – Porcelain & Cast Brass

Description : This lot includes ten vintage door knob sets, each featuring one smooth black porcelain knob paired with a hollow cast brass knob painted black. The hardware is mounted on square iron spindles, and while there is surface rust and wear consistent with age, the sets remain intact and usable for restoration projects. This mixed-material combination was common in early 20th-century homes, offering both elegance and affordability. Ideal for salvage resellers, DIY renovators, or period-accurate restorations.
