Georgian Period (1714 to 1837)
Georgian style embraces a century under the reign of three Georges. Characteristics of the architectural ironmongery of the day were simple and elegant shapes, usually made from brass.
Examples of Georgian style interior door furniture are our Dunedin and Raeburn door knobs and their matching escutcheons.
Georgian front door furniture follows a similar theme. Bold and plain designs such as the Churchill range of Letter Plate, Bell Push, Centre Door Knob and Escutcheons.
Victorian Period (1837 to 1901)
A time of great change in Britain saw the growth of the middle class. Mass production techniques meant that quality fittings were now within the reach of many homes. Designs were more ornate than previously as influences from all over the world arrived.
Examples of Victorian style interior door furniture are our Maybury and Carlton door knobs and their matching escutcheons and finger plates.
Victorian front door furniture features elegant and simple designs such as the Victorian Letter Plate, Rondo Bell Push, Maybury and Dunedin Centre Door Knobs and Teardrop Escutcheons.
