The locks are signed by P. & F. Corbin. Each knob features an intricate design, beginning in the center with a circle surrounded by scallops. A double square, accented with a fan shape on each corner, encloses the center circle. A stylized floret, followed by an arch, ornaments each side of the square. A beaded border finishes the front design of the knob. The back of each knob is also intricately detailed with a bead and fan pattern. The escutcheons feature a coordinating design, and the plate of the mortise lock is ornamented with an asymmetrical design of stylized leaves and flowers. Each doorknob measures 2 ¼” in diameter and 2” deep; each rosette is 2” in diameter; the keyhole covers are 1 ¾” by 1 1/8”. The decorative sides of the mortise locks measure 6 1/8” by 15/16”.
