Antique Bennington Brown Swirl Mineral Porcelain Door Knobs, Set of 3 c. Late 1800's

Product Description:  From the mid to end of the 1800’s, brown-swirl, mineral door knobs, also known as Bennington Knobs, were often seen in homes with Greek Revival style.  These timeless treasures made of porcelain mixed with two colors of clay creates a durable, marble-like appearance.  This set of 3 with iron shanks and spindles has one, slotted set screw in each end.  Each knob’s swirl is unique and different in their own way.   Although one knob has a ½”chip on the out edge and 3/4" area on the backside, they are still a great collectible with fantastic history.
