Gorgeous, antique door hinges made by "Sargent & Co." of New Haven, Connecticut during the late 1800's. Each hinge is made of solid, heavy, thick, cast iron, and has 5 knuckles and ball finials on both ends. Also included with each pair are 16 installation screws.
Originally, all parts were copper plated and finished with black lacquer (Japanned). Some of the plating and finish wore off over the years leaving the parts with a nice, distressed finish.
The degree of plating and finish varies from hinge to hinge, see the 2 group photos to compare.
Each hinge is beautifully embellished with an Aesthetic (Eastlake) style pattern. Some of the pattern is also on the back of the hinges, near the knuckles, and will be visible as long as the doors your installing are not thicker than 1 3/4"
The hinges were removed from a group of doors we salvaged from an old Victorian home near Ithaca, NY. At the point of salvage, some parts were painted and all were dirty (see last photo).
Since then, we removed the paint, and cleaned them to the best of our ability while trying to preserve as much of the plating and finish as possible.
The paint on one pair was too stubborn to remove (see 2nd to last photo). It will require either harsh chemicals, which we don't use, or a
thin metal hand-tool to scrape off the remaining paint and some patience. One of the ball finials of this pair has a small break in it's base, which could see in the same photo. If you buy 3 pairs, we'll sell this 4th pair for half price.
Otherwise, all parts are free of breaks, cracks, chips, dents, and deep scratches.
We greased the insides of the knuckles before sliding the pins back in. Now, the hinges open and close easily and most of the pins slide out with minimal effort.
