Small Antique Sargent Mortise Latch With Glass Knob

This lovely little mortise latch from Sargent was first sold at the beginning of the 20th century, and remained on offer from them for a good few decades - and who can blame them? It's a great design! Simple and compact, it's great for smaller doors like closets and cupboards, and the shiny bronze surfaces and mercury star inside the glass knob add a timeless elegance that would match a wide variety of styles.

Condition: Overall excellent antique condition. There's some verdigris and rust on the interior surfaces, as well as a few dings and scratches on the exterior polished brass pieces, commensurate with age. The strike is also a replacement from our own stock, and has some wear and scratches of its own, and the latch plate of the mortise is a little bent. However, the mortise has been tested and serviced by Hippo's hardware staff and works great, and the bronze surfaces of the rosette and mortise look to have been polished somewhat recently. Interior of mortise is stamped "4609."

Comes with the mortise itself, a round glass knob with an oval rosette, a strike plate, and new brass screws for both the mortise and the strike plate.
