Important Fitting Information

These original knobs have a flat back and were designed to fit with a separate brass collar or ferrule, which is not included.

Traditionally, Victorian glass cupboard knobs consisted of:

• A flat-backed glass knob
• A separate brass collar or ferrule
• A threaded fixing or spindle behind the collar

Since the original brass fittings are no longer present, you will usually need to source or manufacture suitable replacement ferrules before installation.

Several fitting methods are possible. For example, you can bond a threaded brass insert using a high-strength epoxy adhesive. Alternatively, you may commission replacement brass ferrules or use an appropriate specialist glass adhesive, depending on your restoration project.

Why Choose Original Victorian Glass Cupboard Knobs?

Unlike modern reproductions, these reclaimed glass knobs retain the craftsmanship, character and subtle imperfections that make antique hardware so desirable. Consequently, they are an excellent choice for collectors, restorers and anyone seeking original period fittings.
