silver plated 4 1/2″ butt hinges

These hinges are for a Howard VanDoren Shaw home in Lake Forest, Illinois.  Note the custom screw pattern (unavailable on today’s hinges) that was used to replicated hinges from the period.  The finished hinges were all hand waxed after being silver plated.  Often silver was used on some of our fine country homes in more formal living spaces.  Fine attention to detail is always a priority for us when completing hardware for a project in Wilmette.
