Who are we?
We are Richard & Jayne Elsby and we live in the North Shropshire countryside, where we run our small family web-based business.

As Period Door & Window Hardware Specialists, we are extremely passionate about what we do. We love the products we sell and we really enjoy working with people to help ensure their renovations or new builds are brought to life with beautiful door, window and cabinet furniture.

How we've grown over the years
Over the years we have built superb relationships with suppliers, offering high-quality, and often bespoke, period items.

We do like to champion British-made products and many of the products on our website are made right here in the UK. Some are small, independent artisans and others are large manufacturers that have been making ironmongery for many, many years. But we realise this isn’t always possible, so where we do sell products that have come from overseas we work with the very best suppliers and manufacturers who use the best raw materials in their products. This includes really high-quality brass and also real Ebony from the great manufacturers in India, lovely ebonised hardwood and oak from South Africa and truly delightful crystal from Europe.

The Period Ironmonger has been involved in numerous prestigious projects over the years, which include the Glasgow Riverside Museum, various listed properties, international retail outlets, top hotels and also works closely with the National Trust.

More recently, as well as being involved in some large-scale period renovations, we have supplied door furniture for ‘Spectre’, the James Bond movie and also provided a range of ‘Butlers Bells’ for the Downton Abbey US costume tour.
