Charleston Hardware takes much pride in manufacturing the most authentic reproductions possible. Antique American pieces are collected and molds and dies are painstakingly re-created from original American antique pieces. Each piece is made using the same techniques originally used over 125 years ago, and we are the only hardware company casting in the original composition of bronze.
Complete suites of each pattern have been reproduced, allowing hardware throughout the house to match. We assist building professionals and homeowners directly in the design, selection, and installation of hardware appropriate for a particular project. We offer customized hardware to fit existing antique locks and bespoke reproductions in wrought, cast, and lost wax from antique original pieces and schematics.

Our Patterns
Report
This pattern was named Edgemont and was made originally around 1900 by Reading Hardware Co. of Reading NY. The Art Nouveau Roanoke pattern was made around 1900 by P & F Corbin of Stamford, Connecticut. This section offers decorative brass hardware that is not a part of a pattern. Doorknobs, rosettes, and back plates are offered separately.
Art Deco
Report
Art deco designs first appeared on the American scene in the 1920's. Noteworthy is the lack of Victorian ornamentation and the appearance of strong architectural lines. Patterns were mass produced by stamping, making door hardware more affordable than ever for the working man. Our patterns are taken from antique originals and are stamped in solid brass and bronze.
Avalon
Report
The whimsical aesthetic of our art nouveau Avalon suite is the combination of two antique patterns: Olympia and Alby. We collected the ca 1900's antique originals and faithfully reproduce them in stamped brass just like they were made over 100 years ago. Unlacquered, each piece will acquire an antique patina with time.
Beaded
Report
This pattern was named Edgemont and was made originally around 1900 by Reading Hardware Co. of Reading NY. We remade the moulds and cast each piece one at a time in solid brass using the finest sand to capture the smallest of details. Finishing is done by hand just as it was over a century ago. Finishes: lacquered polished brass, unlacquered brass, hand antiqued brass, and antique copper.
