Bun Door Knob – Ebonised Wood & Brass Collar

Add timeless period character to your home with this beautifully crafted Bun Door Knob in ebonised wood. Faithfully reproduced from a classic Edinburgh original, this Bun Door Knob combines authentic Victorian styling with exceptional craftsmanship, making it an ideal choice for heritage restorations and traditional interiors.

Unlike many modern reproductions, these door knobs are handmade by a specialist family-run manufacturer that supplies exclusively to the restoration market. Each pair is carefully aged by hand to capture the character and appearance of genuine antique door furniture. As a result, every set offers the charm and individuality expected in period properties.

The classic bun-shaped design features a solid ebonised hardwood knob, complemented by an unlacquered solid brass collar and distinctive flower-pattern loose roses. The loose rose design makes these knobs suitable for both mortice and rim locks, providing excellent flexibility for restoration projects and traditional homes.

The supplied 120mm threaded spindle adjusts to suit a range of door thicknesses, making installation straightforward. Furthermore, the unlacquered brass naturally develops a rich patina over time, enhancing its authentic period appearance. Alternatively, you can polish the brass to maintain a brighter finish.

Whether you’re restoring a Victorian townhouse, Georgian cottage, Edwardian villa, or simply introducing heritage style to a modern home, this elegant bun door knob provides a timeless finishing touch.
