Antique and Vintage Style Hardware Patterns – A Guide
Antique and vintage style hardware is a broad term that encompasses many architectural styles and types of home and commercial hardware. While there is no one "style" of antique hardware, there are many popular patterns and designs that were used during specific historical periods. By understanding when a particular pattern was used or identifying the architectural style of your home, it becomes easy to find replacement hardware that will restore your home to its original glory.
Broken Leaf (1880's) - This pattern was extremely popular during the Victorian era which included several home designs. The broken leaf pattern features a potted plant with an almost geometric leaf pattern. This style of hardware could fit easily into the Eastlake style which focused on getting away from ornate and flourished designs and utilizing simpler shapes and forms.
Rice Pattern (1870-80's) – The rice pattern is another great example from this period but this time features a more textured surface. Small rice sized shapes and bumps create a beautiful surface effect that looks especially dramatic with copper, antique brass or any type of highlighted finish.
Georgian Roped (1900) – The classic rope pattern dates back to the early twentieth century and is a flat design accented with a "rope" around the edges. This pattern fits well into most homes because it is versatile and a subtle touch of detail. The rope pattern was sometimes used to identify sailing industry homes or later as a symbol of wealth in the community.
Egg and Dart (1900's) – A classic theme in architecture throughout history is life and death and this style is no exception. The egg is used to represent life and the dart is death. This classic pattern features the egg hugged between two darts.
Beaded (1900) – The beaded pattern is similar to the rope because it features a small line of beads around the border of the design. The small beads are usually less that an eighth of an inch in diameter and add a wonderful accent design without being overpowering.
While this list is by no means exhaustive of the styles of hardware available for the home, it should provide a little insight into what type of hardware may fit best. Victorian and antique reproduction hardware is not limited for use only in historical homes – modern homes can introduce these patterns as well and create a beautiful new theme.
