This stunning crystal door knob is especially bright, and large! The flat face on it is a clear window to the mesmerizing star in the center! I also love the pewter.
Not a chip on it, despite the abuse this house has seen. It's like little miracle.
And then on the reverse we have this gorgeous copper knob! I gently cleaned it up using "bar keeper's friend." and it left just that beautiful dark patina. I coated it then with a clear coat of enamel to protect it from too much oxidizing and tarnishing. It was mostly green before as you will see. Nothing wrong with that! It's just so nice to see that copper hue come through again.

Nice.
My primary method for removal of paint from keyhole covers has been the accidental dropping of said object. It almost always gets a good chunk of the paint off, or at least gets things started. There has to be a better way, I'm sure, but this works for me.
I love the glass knobs on the doors. We have them in most of the rooms and copper in others, but the hardware has been badly painted over. I have to clean it up one day. When I closed on my home my realtor handed me a huge ring of skeleton keys for each of the doors!
