These are some photos from an installation this week. Our staff just returned from re-installing this hardware after the final paint was applied. The silver finish is incredibly warm. Silver (not nickel) was used quite often on homes in formal spaces when America was building fine homes — we have seen a huge comeback to this era of fine craftsmanship.

Take a peek at these doors, they have hand made stainless steel cremone bolt hardware but it’s the action that hasn’t been put in a door (to the best of my knowledge) since 1805. So… i agree fine craftsmanship is coming back.
