Details: Rare antique set of brass doorknobs and plates depict the face of “Green Man” Spirit of the Forest god, whose head and face are composed of and surrounded by various foliage. Typical of allegorical motifs during the ornamental aesthetic of the Victorian era. Uncertain if plates are originally paired to the knobs but they are consistent with the ornamental period. Set has been polished but still maintain some patina from decades of use. Includes a steel spindle and replacement attachment screws (plus a few extra screws).

Origin & Era: British or American, 1870s-1890s
