what would you call this style?

6 years ago

I’m looking to replace my front door handle as it was replaced at some point and doesn’t match the style of my house. (A red brick center hall floor plan built in the 20s or 30s.)

I would like it to match closely to my interior door handles which are original. I’ve also included a photo of my lighting which is also original to the home. I can’t think of the name of the style of them, and would love to know to help in my search (Art Deco doesn’t seem quite right, and I once found a term that matched more closely but I can’t think of it right now). Or suggestions on a specific handle would be great! I am located in Canada though, so would be great if they are located here or ship here. Thanks!!!

I would say art deco for both I think front door hardware can much different from the rest of the interior hardware but you do not post what that is so I have no clue. IMO that entry door hardware you show and the lighting work perfectly together .

Try this Canadian retailer. I've been in their store and they have some beautiful stuff. Not your usual big box selection. http://adhhardware.com/

Just browsing through their supplier catalogues I came across this one. Obviously they may be able to find something even better for you.

Thanks Patricia! Yes, I do find the interior door handles and the lighting work well together, and don’t plan on changing either. I am just looking to replace our front door handle as I don’t like the look of it and it is a deadlock style which I don’t like as it’s harder to unlock in the winter with the expansion of the wood. It’s currently a bright brass boring style and very scratched up. Just want to find something in a similar style to our interior handles that I shared the picture of. Am struggling to find something I like.

I would say art deco too, which also fits your home's timeline. Let us know if you think of the other style. Are you thinking of art nouveau??

Those just scream “Art Deco”. I can’t think why you think it might be something else.

Art Deco or art moderne. Regardless you can look at build.com (I assume they ship to Canada) as well as rejuvenation, van dykes, and house of antique hardware.

I have found replacement hardware to match our house on eBay and at our local ReStore.

If you order from the US, be sure to get an idea of the duty that you may pay, so there are no surprises.
