Inspired by the historic skep beehive, the distinctive concentric ring detail has made this style popular since the Georgian and Victorian periods and it remains a popular choice for period homes, cottages and traditional renovations today.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAvailable in either natural rosewood or an ebonised finish, these wooden door knobs are supplied as a pair and mounted on solid brass chrome rose plates. The rosewood option highlights the natural grain of the timber, whilst the ebonised version features a durable black coating applied to the rosewood base, creating a darker appearance that works particularly well alongside painted doors and traditional interiors.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBeehive door knobs are often fitted to panelled doors, where the knob can be positioned on the centre rail of the door.
