Acrylic Door Furniture
Acrylic door furniture was introduced when modern manufacturing processes allowed the use of acrylic to copy the look of glass. The original glass door furniture dated back to the Victorian Age and the style was that of a plain round glass knob on a simple brass rose.
Nowadays designs are much more featured as acrylic allows further creative versions of the original style as well as being a safer material to use. Modern designs still include the original round glass knob, but also available are a bun shaped knob and a faceted (cut glass) shape. All of the modern day designs are available on chrome and brass roses rather than just the brass rose used originally.
The glass style of door furniture was a feature of the emerging Middle Classes from 1900 onwards. Glass finger plates were introduced to compliment the glass knobs and were recognised as a symbol of civilisation and gentility at the time. Used today the acrylic range of door furniture would certainly add a touch of class to any property!
