Antique Brass Door Handles, Knockers and Door Furniture by Heritage Brass

Heritage Brass antique brass door furniture covers everything for internal and front doors in one finish: lever handles, mortice knobs, pull handles, bathroom thumb turns, door knockers, letter plates, house numbers, escutcheons, finger plates, door stops and bolts. Antique brass is hand finished: Heritage Brass polishes the brass, applies a bronze patina over the whole surface, then its polishers brush some of it back with soft brushes to expose the brass below. A clear electrophoretic lacquer protects the final appearance, and every piece has its own slight variance of shade.
