Decorative Hardware Showcase

Baldwin Archetypes
The new Baldwin Archetypes are luxurious era-defining door hardware styles and designs meticulously crafted in cast bronze. The three initial Archetypes inspirations, named Chateau, Craftsman and Villa, take their inspiration from the pervasive ambience reflected in the memories of travelers who have absorbed the atmosphere of Louis XIV's France or Renaissance Tuscany or the Craftsman era of early 20th Century California. Available finishes are Dark Bronze, Pewter Bronze and Aged Bronze.

Starting at the home's front door, designers and homeowners will be able to specify handlesets in any of the three designs and in either mortise or tubular platforms. To complete their fashion statement, they will be able to select coordinating hinges, door knockers, full styled bell buttons and house numbers.

To establish the same "spirit of place" within the home, they will be able to select from a full range of passage and privacy locking hardware as well as knobs, levers and deadbolts in any of the three initial Archetypes styles. Cup pulls in each of the three styles will be available to provide the same sense of sophisticated design to interior pocket doors.
