Antique Vintage Old Salvaged Reclaimed Art Nouveau "Sargent" SOLID Brass Door Set Knob Brass Plate Lock Lockset

Beautiful, antique, interior door lockset made by, "Sargent & Co." of New Haven, CT circa 1900. The set is complete and includes all parts you'll need to install: 2 brass knobs, 2 stamped brass escutcheons, 1 steel mortise lock w/brass faceplate, 1 steel strike plate for the door jamb, 1 steel spindle with 2 setscrews to connect the knobs, and 12 installation screws to connect the lock and plates to the door.

The lock is reversible and could accommodate the swing of any door.

The knobs and plates feature Sargent's Art Nouveau style, "Alby" pattern. The face of the knobs and the ends of the plates have lovely, whiplash-motifs. They remind me of ribbons blowing in the wind or like slithering snakes.

We removed the lockset from a large, interior door that we salvaged from an upscale home in Dunmore, PA. The last photo shows the lockset on the door before we removed it. Although the door was painted on both sides, the previous owner did a pretty good job of not getting paint on the parts. There are a few spots and streaks along the edges but nothing that can't be removed with your fingernail or something plastic.

We didn't clean any of the parts so they still retain their dark, rich, original patina. If you prefer your hardware bright and shiny, the parts could be cleaned with some "Brasso" and #00 steel wool.

All parts are in great condition with only the typical tiny nicks and light scratches that you would expect to find on 100-year old hardware. There are no breaks, cracks, chips, dents, or deep scratches, etc.

The lock was opened, inspected, and we sprayed grease on and around all parts to facilitate their movement. The inside of the lock is fairly clean considering its age. If you want a key to operate the lock, we could modify an old skeleton key to work with the lock for $15/key--email us after the auction if you are interested.
