Our mission is to preserve the historical integrity of buildings through the restoration and reproduction of original antique hardware pieces. Our museum-quality reproduction hardware is copied directly from antique hardware originals and crafted by hand using the same procedures of over a century ago.
Each piece is hand cast in iron, brass, or bronze to match the detailing, textures, metal content, and color of the antique originals. Our services include refinishing, plating, lock restoration and keying with brass skeleton keys. Call for cost and lead time on restorations. We offer custom hardware made to your specifications for your shutters, gates, and garage doors.
Also, we offer support in the design, selection, and installation phases of your project. Our range includes black powder-coated hand wrought iron and stainless steel; cast brass, bronze and iron. For more information, contact one of our design specialists.

About Us
Report
Charleston Hardware takes much pride in manufacturing the most authentic reproductions possible. Antique American pieces are collected and molds and dies are painstakingly re-created from original American antique pieces. Each piece is made using the same techniques originally used over 125 years ago, and we are the only hardware company casting in the original composition of bronze.
Our Patterns
Report
This pattern was named Edgemont and was made originally around 1900 by Reading Hardware Co. of Reading NY. The Art Nouveau Roanoke pattern was made around 1900 by P & F Corbin of Stamford, Connecticut. This section offers decorative brass hardware that is not a part of a pattern. Doorknobs, rosettes, and back plates are offered separately.
Art Deco
Report
Art deco designs first appeared on the American scene in the 1920's. Noteworthy is the lack of Victorian ornamentation and the appearance of strong architectural lines. Patterns were mass produced by stamping, making door hardware more affordable than ever for the working man. Our patterns are taken from antique originals and are stamped in solid brass and bronze.
Avalon
Report
The whimsical aesthetic of our art nouveau Avalon suite is the combination of two antique patterns: Olympia and Alby. We collected the ca 1900's antique originals and faithfully reproduce them in stamped brass just like they were made over 100 years ago. Unlacquered, each piece will acquire an antique patina with time.
Beaded
Report
This pattern was named Edgemont and was made originally around 1900 by Reading Hardware Co. of Reading NY. We remade the moulds and cast each piece one at a time in solid brass using the finest sand to capture the smallest of details. Finishing is done by hand just as it was over a century ago. Finishes: lacquered polished brass, unlacquered brass, hand antiqued brass, and antique copper.
