This doorknob has no backplate, although it would look lovely with one. I've always been fond of the very fancy look of crystal doorknobs. I think this is a nice way to give your doors and home that turn of the century style that is so beautiful.

This doorknob has an incredibly intricate design on the backplate. For an old-fashioned type knob, it can't be beat. The knob itself is also fairly detailed, and it will add a lot of beauty to your doors.

This doorknob is a rather simple brass knob, but I love the oval shape. It's just unusual enough to be interesting, but just simple enough to fit in anywhere. It takes an average style, but gives it a little more class and elegance.

This doorknob has a look that makes it seem like it's a rusty iron lever type doorknob. I love the style, and I think it's a very interesting choice. The lever style is disability-friendly, and the type that the ADA recommends. So not only is there an interesting style, but a user friendly function built into it.

This doorknob is a very simple silver color and style. For a modern look, it's an extremely good choice. The color gives it a very simple look that will work well with many different door styles. I love the brushed silver, and it's going to be very easy to keep it clean looking, as opposed to a doorknob that has a more polished finish.

This is another antique glass knob that is in the tortoise shell style. It's a beautiful piece, though I don't know how many older homes it would actually work in. The glass just seems too modern, and you aren't going to have many things that will match.

These are really meant for outdoors, and they just don't have the style to compete indoors. Outdoors, use them on an outdoor cabinet that is set on your deck and holds all your grilling implements. They are good enough knobs that can withstand the weather, but not exactly stylish.

This sand dollar drawer knob has all the beauty of a real sand dollar. You could use it practically anywhere, but it's probably best limited to bathrooms that have been decorated with a soft beach theme. It could also work if you had lots of lighthouse knick-knacks in a room, no matter which room that is.

This knob with a slight rope detail is perfect for an antique chest of drawers, or kitchen cabinets. It's the kind of knob that would almost look perfect no matter where you put it. It's got a very classic style, and it looks very pretty.

This is a terribly cute knob, but where would you put it?? I suppose if you cannot commit to any set theme for a child's room, this would add a little something, without being overwhelming. But there are other changes I'd rather make than just this. Also, I'll tell you now, I HATE the swirliness of the epoxy finish.

Polished chrome is another of the most standard type of knobs you will encounter. I think polished is a little too intense in a kitchen, and if you have silver-toned appliances, they are almost always a brushed finish. Please be aware of that when placing your knobs, because it makes for an odd looking space when you mix brushed and polished. On a side note, the bathroom usually goes for more polished fixtures, and that's a good place for this knob.

I believe this design uses the Millefiore technique, although I'm not an expert in the technique, so don't hold me to it. Millefiore literally means "thousand flowers" and it's supposed to be surrounded by a field of flowers, but there is only one here, so you can understand my hesitation to REALLY call it that style.

This is a pretty knob, but it's going to need a special sort of cabinet in a special sort of kitchen. If you've got lots of color such as a tabletop covered in a mosaic made from broken plates, this just might be the drawer knob for you. It's going to bring a old world feel to anyplace it's put, but it will add a touch of whimsy, so be judicious where you put it.

I don't know who first had the idea of having a lion, or any other beast for that matter, hold a ring in its mouth as a design practice. I have never seen a lion walking around with a ring in its mouth. It's just a weird thing that doesn't really happen in nature.

But as far as design goes, can you get more classic than this. It's almost past classic into kitschy.

(By the way, does that lion look absolutely terrified to anyone else??)

I should not like a knob called Hydrangea. But then again, it isn't some cutesy piece of ceramic that is only fit for a child's room. No, instead, this piece resembles a Hydrangea leaf, right down to the veining. It looks as though somebody came along and coated a leaf with the finest coat of silver leaf, so that every single detail is visible. It's a stunning piece, and you could put it lots of different places. I think I would like it best in the bathroom on an antique white medicine cabinet.

This is another of the vintage reproduction knobs. This one is made to resemble an old, milky, antique glass. It's a pretty style, and while it certainly won't fit in every home, there is certainly a niche for it. If you are the kind of person who buys an antique stove in mint green, you're probably already drooling over this.
