For some renovations, you want not only to improve the space, you want to return it back to its former glory. For renovations that strive to stay period specific, it's helpful to have a resource like House of Antique Hardware. This online shop has all of the major decor eras covered — from Victorian and Art Deco to Mid-Century Modern.

House of Antique Hardware is like a vintage rehabber's dream site. Based in Portland, Oregon, but selling only online, the company manufactures and sells a vast selection of antique reproduction hardware for the home. The site is broken down by hardware type – door hardware, window hardware, cabinet and furniture hardware, house hardware and lighting – as well as by style. All the styles are covered – Colonial, Classical, Victorian, Art & Crafts, Romantic, Art Deco and Mid-Century. While most hardware is available in a number of finishes, House of Antique Hardware is known for its signature Antique By Hand finish. This finish recreates the gentle, time-worn patina with "an exclusive five-step finishing process."
