| 5494 | Peter McDougall (PMcD Concentric
Millefiori on White Lace Paperweight Doorknob. circa
2008-2012. Wonderful Peter McDougall doorknob with a
millefiori paperweight as the handle. The paperweight is a
two ring concentric design with complex millefiori canes on a
white lace or upset muslin ground. There are seventeen
complex canes, all of which appear to be different, plus the
signature cane. The center cane is a large closepack
cane. It is signed with a "PMcD" complex signature cane in
between the two rings of complex canes. The brass hardware
is stamped "MADE IN ENGLAND". This does not come with screws
to fasten the doorknob to a door. This is an especially nice
doorknob. Note: If you only want this doorknob for display, you are all set. But if you plan to use this doorknob in your house, please study the type of knob you are replacing. If turning the handle turns an internal square spindle, you can probably make this handle work. But if your house has more modern hardware, you may need expert help to modify your hardware or even install an older mortise type lock. Note on Condition: This knob has a small partial circular impact mark just over 1/8" wide on the side as shown in some of the pictures.

Millefiori Ball Paperweight. circa 2003.

that it is signed. A special paperweight for the collector
