Antique or Vintage Door Knobs Clear Crystal Glass & Cabinet Knob
Mostly clean; some rust & paint & scratches on metal; looks great!
The origins of glass door knobs can be traced back to the early 1800s when a growing middle class began to demand more refined and ornate home furnishings. At the time, door handles were typically made from wood or metal, and while functional, they lacked the decorative appeal that many homeowners were looking for.
It was during this time that glass door knobs became an appealing option. They were first produced in the United States in the early 1800s, with some of the earliest examples being made by the Boston and Sandwich Glass Company. These early glass door knobs were simple in design, often featuring just a single color or a simple pattern.
Glass door knobs gained more popularity in the United States around the time of WW1. Brass, bronze, and iron hardware were in short supply because metals were needed to make airplanes and ammunition.
