There was a time when you needed to go to auction houses to find beautiful antique glass door knobs. today you can find anything you want online, even antique knobs. Now I know that going to estate auctions was a delightful pass-time for many of us, and I admit missing some of the auction houses where deals were made with friends, and where we could meet with people of similar interests. There are yet some advantages to buying antique glass door knobs online, as we have access to a larger choice than we ever could find in our local communities.
Today if you want a French Antique look glass door knob, or one that comes from England it is no longer a problem and you can have it shipped to you in a short time.
Another thing to consider when looking for antique door knobs is the fact that true antiques are very difficult to find and expensive, but manufacturers using methods and materials that did not exist long ago are producing replicas that look like they were made years ago at the fraction of the cost of what you would have to pay. Certainly there are may be people who only want a genuine antique knob and I respect that, but for many a replica will be a great addition to their home. It should also be noted that those great antiques you find in little country stores are very unlikely to fit a modern door without major modifications.
