Nostalgic Warehouse
http://www.nostalgicwarehouse.com
In 1980, Andrea Ridout started an antique business near Dallas, Texas.
When she had trouble finding old-style hardware for her furniture
inventory,she scoured a local library looking for manufacturers. She
finally found a few companies who were reproducing old patterns, but
they had large minimum orders. So Ridout designed a simple catalog and
began wholesaling the pulls to other antique dealers. In the early
90's, the company developed a new line of hardware to fill a common
need for its customers. Often clients would want to use antique
doorknob styles on new home construction, however older designs would
not usually fit on modern, pre-drilled doors. Eventually, the company
convinced an overseas foundry to widen a few vintage backplate designs
and to standardize the patterns so that they would mate with modern
tube latches. |
