We would like to match the existing door knobs in the house when
furnishing the extension. Does anybody know where we might find
something that matches? I've spent a lot of time searching the web but
no joy.

Here is a photo:

As you can see, the rose screws onto the fixing plate to hide the
screws. The oval knob has a sort of sunflower-type pattern on it and the
edge, like that of the rose, is beaded.

The house is a 1960s bungalow but I've no idea if the door knobs are of
that period. All I know is that it is not a design that I can find off
the shelf!

Any thoughts?

I'd imagine you will find it hard if not impossible to get a match
although if it's hidden screws you are looking for you should get
something here like this

so you might be looking at replacing all the handles ..How many do you
have ?

If we were to replace all the doors in the house: 12 doors (two of which
are one-sided handles). For good quality handle sets with hidden screws,
that actually quite a bit of money.

Much older design, but likely a reproduction.

A reclamation yard might be worth a poke about.

Do you live anywhere near York? I was there the other week and there's a
really nice shop near the Minster which I believe would have handles like
your picture.
