Crystal door knobs are the perfect fit in any home, new or old. They don’t just exist in the movies and on Southern plantations, you can have them for yourself and in your home. When you spend the time to shop around for them, they are also affordable. In this post I want to share what I know about these door knobs so that you can get exactly what you want to add a touch of elegance to your home.
Crystal door knobs are usually made from leaded glass which is the clearest and most pure of all of the affordable types of glass. They come in dozens of different colors, but the ones other than pure clear are going to be a bit more expensive. Crystal door knob sets are also available, and you can get enough for a few doors, or for the entire home. The unfortunate thing about buying them in sets is that many of the more “cutting edge” designs aren’t available, it’s mostly the simple and plain designs that are available as sets.
When shopping for these you can save a lot of money by looking for vintage ones. Any vintage door knob is always in style, and they were built to last forever. Crystal and all glass door knobs are very easy to find at antique stores. The key is to shop around from one antique store to the next because you will find huge variances in prices from one to another. There isn’t a “price guide” for vintage door knobs, so many dealers will just make a price up that they think is good and stick with it.
Another good way to shop for crystal knobs without spending a ton of money is to do so online. It’s really easy to shop around online, and the thing to look for is discounted/free shipping. If you can score free shipping you’ve probably saved yourself over a hundred bucks. Door knobs are much heavier than they look and cost a fortune to ship.
Crystal door knobs work great in any home, and are one of the small details that most homeowners over look. Use them to set your home apart from the pack!
