All About Porcelain
Porcelain door knobs first became popular in the Victorian era as a decorative material to create an ornate effect. They were imported from Europe and remained popular from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s. During the Great Depression, glass porcelain knobs became more popular as metal was conserved. To this day, Porcelain knobs are still a popular choice for home restoration.
The biggest trend that we have seen when it comes to hardware is that there are no rules. With Emtek's customization, you can design new and exciting hardware combinations for your home. By pairing the Ebony Porcelain Knob with the #8 Rosette in Antique Brass, we wanted to showcase how two antique-inspired designs can be reintroduced to create a unique statement with your hardware.
The Ice White Porcelain Knob paired with the Oval Rosette in Flat Black combines a modern color pallet with soft rounded shapes to make the space feel homey and whimsical. Porcelain has been an enduring material for more than a century, and it's easy to see why it hasn't lost it's appeal over the years for its nostalgic appeal and durable nature.
The two main colors of Porcelain Door Knobs that Emtek carries are Ebony and Ice White. They can be paired with a Porcelain Rosette or our other many Rosette options so that your hardware choices can be unique to your home and project.
Whether you want to feel like you are in a cozy cottage or a creative oasis, Emtek's porcelain cabinet and door knob options give an instant dose of vintage charm, elegance and style. Pair with any entryset, sideplate or rosette style, including our porcelain rosette, for a look all your own.
