You touch them every day without thinking. You walk past them in every room. They're one of the oldest functional objects in architecture - and one of the most beautiful, if you know how to look.

Door knobs are the jewelry of a house. A faceted crystal knob catches afternoon light like a diamond. A hand-forged iron knob tells a story of craftsmanship stretching back centuries. A porcelain knob painted with tiny blue flowers carries the elegance of a vanished era in the palm of your hand.

The Beauty of Door Knobs is your complete guide to the world hiding in plain sight on every door in your home.

Inside you'll discover:

  • The fascinating history of door hardware from ancient Rome to modern design
  • How to identify materials - glass, crystal, brass, porcelain, iron, and more
  • Matching knobs to architectural styles from Victorian to Mid-Century Modern
  • Step-by-step installation and replacement for any door
  • Converting vintage knobs to work on modern doors
  • Restoring and refinishing antique knobs to their original glory
  • Where to find hidden gems at salvage yards, estate sales, and antique shops
  • Identifying, collecting, and valuing rare antique door hardware
  • Creative repurposing projects - turning old knobs into coat hooks, cabinet pulls, and art
  • How to photograph and display your collection beautifully

Whether you're restoring a historic home, hunting for the perfect vintage hardware, or just want to upgrade from builder-grade boring - this book will change how you see every door you open.
