Ribbon and Reed Patterns in Antique Hardware - Elements of Design

The Ribbon & Reed pattern for home hardware is a simple and elegant design that can be incorporated into all areas of your home from lighting to cabinet knobs. This pattern, which features full length ribbing with a single crossover mark at or near the center, is inspired by neoclassical designs that became popular in the United States during the late 1800’s. Neoclassical architecture was reminiscent of designs used in classical Greek architecture.  

Solid brass Ribbon & Reed pattern cabinet knobs, push plates, door knockers and entryway sets are a beautiful and welcome addition to any home. This style and movement exemplifies simplicity and beauty. These pieces are traditional cast in solid brass and found in several finishes including Polished Brass, Antique Brass, Polished Chrome, Brushed Nickel and Oil Rubbed Bronze.

Ribbon & Reed designs are produced today – allowing you to easily incorporate them into your doors, lighting and cabinetry. It is a simple way to create a common theme throughout your entire home. By replacing your older and worn home hardware with fresh patterns and new finishes you can easily transform the look of your house into a showplace – but be sure to follow a few simple steps. First, creating a common theme is easy if you use similar or complementary patterns throughout an entire room. By using the same finish you will further enhance your theme. Second, solid brass construction, not brass plated pieces, will ensure strength and durability over time. You can consult with an interior decorator or look in home decorating magazines for more great tips on creating a common theme with the Ribbon & Reed design.

Ribbon & Reed pattern hardware is readily available online and in many home decorating catalogs. Search for solid brass construction and be sure to ask questions. Several pieces are available in a variety of finishes and many have complementary hardware (such as lighting) available as well. When you work with the Ribbon & Reed pattern you can be sure that different combinations will tie themselves together nicely. These Ribbon & Reed pieces can be found online through LookInTheAttic & Company and they offer free design assistance and help.
