Flat Beveled Edge Knob 1" Diameter Antique Brass Handcrafted Hardware HKN1042

This elegant brass hardware is completely handmade, using precise, labor intensive, time-honored casting methods. This is done one at a time or in small batches of 2 to 8 pieces. First, a model of each piece is carefully carved from hardwood. Next, a metal mold is created from that model and is placed in a two piece box containing moist casting sand. The mold creates a perfectly shaped cavity into which molten brass is poured, forming an exact copy of the original model. Once it has cooled, each casting is completed with simple hand tools and a 5-part finishing process is done resulting in a final piece that reflects its unique melding of traditional craftsmanship and modern creativity.
