Craftsmanship that celebrates classic reeded beehive detail
The Old English Ripon reeded beehive mortice door knob brings warm antique character to any home. Its elegant shape feels instantly familiar, yet its solid structure offers a comforting weight in hand. Because each knob is crafted from durable solid brass, the antique copper finish develops a rich and natural depth over time. This creates an authentic period feel while still offering strength for daily use. The gentle beehive pattern adds texture, and it gives the knob a timeless look that suits both traditional and transitional interiors.
Forged brass with a warm antique copper finish
This door knob is made from solid brass, so it delivers lasting strength and a smooth, balanced turning motion. The antique copper finish brings a soft glow with subtle shading that feels warm on every surface. Since it uses high-quality materials throughout, the finish remains stable, even with frequent handling. The concealed rose design also keeps the plate neatly hidden, letting the beehive detail stand out cleanly.
