Bennington Style Enamel Doorknob 1

Description

Bennington Style Enamel Doorknob 1

Swirled brown enamel doorknob with cast iron neck.  This knob is slightly unique, as the predominate color is a very light brown. It also comes to a little peak at the center. This swirl design was meant to imitate wood grain or the marbling in stone in enamel form. This style is also called “mineral”.  This style was one of the earlier types of doorknobs, often pre-1900 and was used with many types of door plates and rosettes. The Bennington name is derived from Bennington, Vermont, where Christopher Webber Fenton developed the method of swirling or speckling the brown glazes in 1849.

The doorknobs measure 2 1/4″ in diameter.  It takes a standard sized non-threaded shaft.
