How To Find Vintage Architectural Hardware
Architectural hardware is a beautiful addition to any home. Adding dramatic details like this can even increase your home's resale value, as your home will have that little something extra that home buyers are always wanting. Although you can buy new architectural hardware at any home improvement store, these pieces can be quite expensive. If you buy cheaper, lower end hardware for your doors and cabinets, you will notice that the quality of these items is not as good. If you buy upper end hardware items, you run the risk of having the same hardware as your neighbor. This is because these pieces are usually massed produced. Fortunately, there is a way to get beautiful, unique architectural hardware for an affordable price. You should seek out vintage pieces. These will give your home a truly unique touch. Here are some tips to help you find affordable vintage architectural hardware.
Check Out Garage Sales In Older Areas
Sometimes when an older home is renovated, the owners save the old hardware and try to resell it at their next garage sale. If you have the time, it can be worthwhile to check out garage sales in older parts of town. Older homes are more likely to have vintage hardware. This is probably the best way to get a bargain on these unique pieces. Homeowners who hold garage sales are often more interested in uncluttered their lives than in making money. Do not forget that it is acceptable to bargain at yard sales. If someone is selling some hardware that you love but the price is just too high, make them an offer. They might just accept it, and you might get a great deal just for asking.
Antique Malls Are A Great Resource
Antique malls often sell vintage hardware. If you are looking for a bargain, stay away from upscale antique stores as these often charge high prices on their offerings. Look for smaller antique stores that are more cluttered. The cheapest antique stores often make you hunt through clutter in order to find what you are wanting. If you are pressed for time and do not have a weekend or two to browse, call the antique shops in your area. Ask them if they have any antique hardware for sale. Even if their shop is crowded, antique dealers usually have a good recall of the exact items they currently have in stock.
Start Browsing Online Auctions
You will certainly be able to find some affordable options on online auction websites. Because you will not be able to see the items in person before you bid, it is important that you only deal with reputable sellers. Make sure you read reviews from other customers. If there are any complaints that the seller is selling new hardware and claiming that it vintage, you should look elsewhere for your architectural hardware. Good sellers will also let you return the hardware if you are not completely satisfied. Make sure you check out the shipping cost before you bid, as it can sometimes be expensive.
