Porcelain.

At bit of information which you may or may not be interested in.

This is one of 6 porcelain knobs which are on our Devon Dresser.

When we started to decorate the sitting room 6 layers of paint were removed from them and the surrounding wood.

We have no idea how old this dresser is. It is built into the 3' thick walls of the room.

The house itself is over 300 years old.

Nicely lit to make the knob stand out

Lovely image: it has the sheen and graceful texture of something truly old.

A beautiful knob and a great minimalistic image. You used the design of the dresser very well in the composition.
