I think the shaped Baldwin knob would compliment the trim very nicely.

i like the dark one. It's a tall door w/hefty trim work,,,you don't want a puny door knob that will disappear.

First of all, I love glass door knobs and have been buying vintage ones for my vintage house. I love the middle one that is against the dark wood the best!

Yes, Bev, I love crystal glass door knobs too! I'd choose the pewter backplate if you like--even though it's darker than the hinges, it's still in the same cool color family. However, I prefer a classic round backplate.

I do not like the feel od square knobs for doors so I would stick to a round one but I have to say that huge trim above that door is not good at all.

I would do the "Old town crystal knob" on satin nickel Oval rosette. by Emtek.

Better price point as well then Baldwin.

Thank you all! I guess none of you mentioned levers which I thought you might. I like the square one because it looks big and bold, but I'm worried it's too modern. My husband hates it anyway.

Patricia - The molding too tall? That's my fault. I chose that after seeing some Houzz photos as inspiration....

We like the oval satin nickel, it looks classic.

2 or 3 , or that knob and finish with the round rosette.

That glass knob is over the top IMO. I think the egg shape knob is more interesting.

I don’t care for levers. They look like they are for hotel rooms and your clothes sometimes get caught on them when you walk by. I would use round door knobs.

Levers. Really handy, especially if both hands are full. Plus, if this is your forever home, they are better to age in place with.

While I can appreciate the convenience of levers when my hands are full, I seem to get caught on them. My coat, the bag over my shoulder, my dry cleaning, etc. The front door is the place where I need the lever the most. Whenever I'm carrying a bunch of grocery bags, I can't seem to free up my hand to open the door. Does anyone use a keyless entry for the front door? Maybe I'll start another post....

Prefer the rectangle.

Had levers on exterior doors -- they were not that comfortable to use and were often in the way. The main thing you want is to be able to hold onto the knob without needing a lot of pinch/grip strength and the first, larger one would do that.

If you want to go crystal, I vote for the one with the oval backplate since the door have a curved design on it. I am a big believer in matching all of the hardware. We have the egg shapes knobs that someone mentioned above and LOVE them! :)

The square one really has nothing to do with the neo classical door and trim detail you have.

I like the square one best, but if your family doesn't then I would go with the middle knob pictured.

Square door knobs are not user friendly. There's a reason round knobs have been around since forever--they feel good in your hand!

Oh really, Diana? I didn't know that. It felt nice in the store. And I love the way it looks like a giant emerald-cut engagement ring! haha - I guess I'll stick with the round one......
