Victorian door knobs were likely the most popular style of door handle from the Victorian period. The door handles/knobs themselves came in a range of designs, although most of which were brass or dark wood in colour. Some were rather plain in design, whereas others had elegant patterning on them reflecting the popular patterns at the time. 

Although door handles seem like a small and insignificant detail, they really do add that extra something to your house. Attention to detail is important when recreating the interior design of the 19th century, and so Victorian door handles will be sure to finish off your house nicely with a subtle Victorian touch. Here are some of the best Victorian door handles/knobs that you can buy online:

The Victorians often had simple looking door knobs as part of their interior decor, partly because many of their other belongings were quite extravagant. This door knob has the Victorian brass antique finish with a circular door knob that has an indented line around the edge to add to its aesthetic. Although it looks like a subtle detail and a subtle hint at the Victorian period, it will definitely make sure that your home looks perfect.
