Couldn't load pickup availability
Striking, genuine 3-piece antique door hardware set manufactured by the renowned Yale & Towne company around the turn of the 20th century. While the pieces originate from two distinct high-end catalog styles, their deep Renaissance-Revival details coordinate beautifully for a grand entryway statement.
Included:
- (1) Large Yale & Towne "Oporto" Pattern Entry Backplate (Pattern/Model #1861 stamped on reverse). French Renaissance detailing with heavy relief urn and cherub motifs at the crest and foot.
- (2) Matching Yale & Towne "Olympian" Pattern Cast Doorknobs (Circa 1905). Concentric target-ring center wrapped in stylized floral wreaths.
+ (4) Carefully matched vintage slotted wood screws chosen to fit the plate and complement its historic patina.
Condition & Patina Notes:
This set is offered in its authentic, uncleaned "as-found" architectural salvage condition. Please note that the two doorknobs exhibit two entirely distinct wear patterns from decades of use on opposite sides of a door. One knob retains smooth high points with clear golden-bronze undertones shining through, while the other features heavy natural surface oxidation, deeper dark pitting, and historic grime that accentuates its age. The backplate shows deep, even aging with beautifully crisp casting lines. No cracks or structural breaks.

This is climate-competent commerce, and we talk a bit more about each of these strategies on our 'official' shipping policy page:
-
Proactive Satisfaction + Refunds
Refund policyWe have adopted a 'generally generous' approach to fulfilling many of our product listings, as sending a wee bit extra can avoid costly errors & 'fix it' shipments (besides, we find most folks appreciate the occasional freebie).
.
That said, if you would prefer to avoid the extras, we will gladly rightsize or downsize your order on request (product price would remain the same because more labor + less product = wash). If you prefer this option, please include a detailed order note to specify the quantity you wish to recieve (i.e. 'please send precise count of 7 for XYZ product').
.
As a rule, we discourage returns - but we also don't abide crappy customer experiences. To initiate issue resolution in the event that we miss the boat with your order (gaps happen!), head to our refund policy page (linked here - and at the bottom of any page) to get started.
