solid brass | polished & un-lacquered

hand hammered brass knob

This fine door knob was finished by our staff at Al Bar Wilmette. It was part of a complete restoration project in one of the period apartment buildings here in Chicago, Illinois. Al Bar works with homeowners, designers, builders and architects to select, manage and complete hardware restoration projects. Be certain to visit our shop in Wilmette if you are ever in the Chicago area.
