Retaining a shadow of its nouveau ancestry, the Prairie design doorknob set surged into popularity around 1915. Offered up until the late 1930's by mail-order houses, this doorknob was often supplied with "kit" houses. We find that it blends in well with Arts & Crafts or Mission style homes. Backplate: 2 1/2" X 7". Knob: 2 1/8" dia.
