Important Fitting Information
Victorian makers designed these knobs to fit a separate brass collar or ferrule, which is not supplied.
Traditional Victorian fittings usually consisted of:
- A flat-backed glass knob
- A separate brass collar or ferrule
- A threaded fixing or spindle behind the collar
Because the original brass fittings are no longer present, you will usually need to source replacement ferrules or choose an alternative fixing method before installation.
Fortunately, several fitting options are available. For example, you can bond a threaded brass insert into the glass using a high-strength epoxy adhesive. Alternatively, you can commission replacement brass ferrules or use a specialist glass adhesive, depending on the needs of your restoration project.
Perfect for Antique Furniture
Finally, these genuine reclaimed knobs are ideal for restoring Victorian and Edwardian furniture while preserving its original character. Whether you are replacing missing hardware or completing a sympathetic restoration, these original amber glass knobs provide an authentic finishing touch that modern reproductions simply cannot match.
