Crystal door knobs are a great and easy way to add new detail to otherwise boring doors and an opportunity to create a new theme that can be easily introduced in a variety of unexpected areas throughout your home. Older door knobs that are constructed out of various metals (thin brass, steel, etc.) can easily become dented and scratched over time and because of this need to be frequently replaced. A door knob serves as a focal point of design in the home because it is something that is used every day by guests and homeowners. Because it is so pivotal to every day life around the home, a beautiful and high quality door knob is an important feature that should not be overlooked.



            Crystal door knobs first gained popularity in the United States during the 1800 and 1900's. This was especially true when metal was needed during the First World War and could no longer be spared for the production of door knobs and other home hardware. Although metal knobs became popular again in the mid 1950's, crystal door knobs still remain popular today.

            Crystal door knobs are available in a variety of patterns which can be used in both old and new homes. Popular shapes include fluted glass, round, pumpkin, octagon and oval. There are a variety of rosette (sometimes referred to as "back plates") available which range from simple to extremely ornate. The most popular finishes are Polished Brass, Antique Brass, Polished Chrome, Brushed Nickel and Oil Rubbed Bronze. This wide selection of knob shape, design and finish allows you to match your new door knob sets with existing hardware.

            By using crystal doorknobs throughout your home you can create a new theme that can be introduced in window hardware, lighting and cabinet hardware. Add new vibrancy to your kitchen cabinets with new glass knobs that will tie in beautifully with your door hardware. Further enhance the theme with new glass curtain tie backs or similar lighting.
