Antique period hardware and lightbulbs
beingzoe about 1 year ago

While the items at House of Antique Hardware might be a bit pricey for your average stage production some shows
or film sets might need this level of authentic quality and craftsmanship.
House of Antique Hardware offers a wide range of custom built and replicated antique original hardware and light bulbs
including door, window, cabinet, furniture, lighting, electrical, and house hardware.
Their designs are mind blowing in their authenticity, harkening back to era’s long gone by.
Our reproductions are so well made they could easily be mistaken for genuine antiques, so we take the precaution to mark each one with an ‘H’.
They appear to be focused on the home rejuvenation market to create a finished vintage look.
And that look could be useful to a lot of people besides people renovating victorian style homes.
Theater and film people will find amazing props and set dressings.
You electricians out there might be interested in the reproduction Early Style Edison light bulbs .
Steam punk computer and technology builders will also find items that will add authenticity to their designs.
I found House of Antique Hardware while doing a search for how (and how much it costs) they go about creating
period sets for films. I love period pieces and historical films, but have always been amazed at how the level
of detail and difficulty must go into converting modern location shoots into authentic historical settings.
Sometime I will likely write an article on this subject, but for now enjoy these location shots of New Haven, Connecticut
into 1957 for the next Indiana Jones film at This Modern World by Tom Tomorrow and enjoy
some other fun and stimulating stuff while you are there.
