A rare antique “Columbian†entrance door hardware set by Reading Hardware, 1897. Made of cast bronze, this hardware set features large figural doorknobs with a wolf’s head. The doorplate features a gorgeous Art Nouveau design with curling vines and a swinging keyhole cover; the lock and reversible strike plate are ornamented with a matching design. Since the original rose and keyhole cover were no longer present, we’re including a period-appropriate antique bronze doorknob escutcheon and keyhole for the interior. This entry set includes a pair of doorknobs with the connecting spindle, a lock and matching strike plate, double-keyhole doorplate, rose, and keyhole escutcheon. The larger doorknob is 2-1/2†in diameter and approx. 3†deep; the smaller doorknob is 2-1/4†in diameter and 2-1/2†deep; the large backplate is 3†by 9-7/8â€; the rosette is 2-1/4†diameter; and the keyhole is 1†by 2â€. The lock has a faceplate 1-1/8†wide and 7-1/2†long, with an approx. 2-5/8†backset. The lock body is 5-1/4†tall and 3-1/2†deep overall.
