The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A beehive centre door knob is a decorative, non-turning door pull characterized by prominent concentric reeded ridges along its surface. Popularized during the Victorian period, these fittings were centrally mounted on front entrance doors to assist in pulling heavy timber doors closed.

Historically, beehive door knobs were cast in solid brass or bronze and turned on a lathe to create the precise reeded concentric lines. They typically feature a threaded bolt or spindle extending from the rear of the rosette plate to secure through the entire thickness of the door.

Authentic period brass fittings exhibit substantial physical weight, subtle casting variations, and natural surface patination or oxidisation within the recessed grooves. Original pieces also frequently show light hand-finishing lathe marks and period-appropriate thread pitches on mounting bolts.

A brass centre door pull is positioned at eye or waist height in the horizontal centre of an exterior door, creating a strong symmetrical focal point. It pairs well with dark painted timber doors, such as navy or forest green, alongside complementary brass letterboxes and door knockers.

To preserve unlacquered brass, clean periodically with warm water and a mild detergent using a soft cloth to remove surface grime. If a bright shine is preferred, apply a specialised brass polish with a soft toothbrush to clear residue from the reeded ridges, or leave untreated to develop an aged patina.
