Thomas Sheraton (1751-1806) achieved little recognition for his furniture designs during his lifetime. Although his trade was furniture design, his heart was in writing. His furniture manuals: The Cabinet Maker and Upholsterer's Drawing Book, and The Cabinet Dictionary are certainly among the most influential in period furniture design. Today, Sheraton knobs are used on all kinds of projects: from country furniture and kitchen cabinetry to fine reproductions.

 | Beaded Sheraton KnobsFrank Horton's grandmother had a lovely Sheraton mirror with mirror rosettes in each corner, but one was missing. He made a punch and die so that he could make the one missing rosette for her. We still use that same die and punch today. The delicate, beaded pattern is a classic design and was very common in the Federal period. Today, it is used by cabinetmakers and furnituremakers and is our most popular Sheraton knob. Available in 5 sizes and 4 finishes. H-30 Sheraton knob, from $5.25  |
 | Five Petal Sheraton KnobsMy grandfather, Frank A. Horton carved dies and punches by hand during his lifetime. Whenever he found a beautiful knob, he copied it. Each die took weeks to make. All of our Sheraton knobs are made with these same tools today. This is an authentic copy of a decorative Federal style knob. It has a detailed flowered pattern and is available in three sizes and four finishes. All of our Sheraton knobs are now available in our newest finish, dark antique. Dark antique is often called oil rubbed bronze. H-47 Sheraton knob, from $5.50 |
