Tall Beehive Door Knob – Ebonised Wood & Brass Collar

Bring authentic Victorian character to your home with this Tall Beehive Door Knob in beautifully ebonised wood. Expert craftspeople faithfully reproduce this elegant design from an original period example, creating a Tall Beehive Door Knob that captures the charm and authenticity of genuine antique door furniture.

Unlike many modern reproductions, a specialist family-run manufacturer, supplying exclusively to the restoration market, carefully hand-finishes each pair to create the appearance of hardware that has graced period doors for generations. As a result, these door knobs offer the subtle character and individuality expected in heritage restorations.

The distinctive tall beehive design features a solid ebonised hardwood knob, complemented by an unlacquered brass collar and matching loose roses. Consequently, the brass will naturally develop a rich patina over time, enhancing its authentic Victorian appearance. Alternatively, you can polish the brass to maintain a brighter finish.

Designed with versatility in mind, the loose roses allow this Tall Beehive Door Knob to be fitted to both mortice and rim locks. In addition, the supplied 130mm threaded spindle adjusts to accommodate a variety of door thicknesses, making installation straightforward for many traditional doors.

Whether you’re restoring a Victorian townhouse, Georgian cottage, Edwardian villa, or simply adding period charm to a modern property, this elegant door knob provides a timeless finishing touch.
