Period Features Period Features is a small family business specialising in Hardware and Housewares for period and contemporary homes.

We have moved from our bricks and mortar shop in Leek to purely online but still guarantee the best products and service available. Period Features is a small company based in the attractive market town of Leek, on the edge of the Peak District. We aim to be an outstanding source of products for period homes, and to always provide excellent, friendly service. When we first opened our doors in 2001, we mainly supplied high-quality hardware and heritage paints, but are now branching out into other areas as well. We only sell things we really like; we hope you like them too! Nearly all the products on our website can also be viewed and purchased at our shop in Leek, but it is advisable to telephone first to check availability if you are making a long journey. The shop is open between 10 am and 5 pm, Monday to Saturday. To visit our online shop, which is open 24 hours a day, please visit our online store at http://www.periodfeatures.co.uk/

A little cottage character for your doors.

Our Cottage Door K**b in Antique Brass has a warm, softly aged finish and compact proportions that look lovely on smaller internal doors.

It works with both rim and mortice locks. For a door without a lock mechanism inside it, why not pair the k***s with one of our reversible rim locks? Fitted to the surface of the door, a rim lock adds practical detail and traditional character.

The k***s are sold as a pair, with a 130 mm spindle and an additional shorter 100 mm spindle included.

Door Knockers Don’t Have to Be Grand!
When we think of traditional door knockers, it’s easy to picture grand Georgian doors with beautiful lion heads and classic brass designs – and of course, we love those too!
But traditional door furniture can have a little personality.
Our Hedgehog Door Knocker is perfect for a country cottage, period home, or simply a household that wants something a little different on the front door.
Full of woodland character, the little hedgehog forms the knocker itself, sitting above a decorative leaf-shaped backplate. At approximately 125mm high, it makes a lovely feature without overwhelming a smaller cottage door.
And there’s a choice of finishes too. Choose solid brass, which will naturally mellow and develop a beautiful patina over time, or cast iron, which can be left in its natural finish or painted to complement your front door.
Proof that you certainly don’t need a grand entrance to have a fabulous door knocker!

Discover the Hedgehog Door Knocker, along with our full collection of traditional and unusual designs, in the Door Knockers section of our website.

The finishing touches for a traditional bathroom 🛁

Sometimes it’s the smaller details that bring a bathroom together.

Our Classic Bathroom Collection includes everything from towel rails, rings and robe hooks to soap dishes, tumblers, toilet roll holders and toilet brushes – all designed with a timeless, traditional feel.

Made in Italy from solid brass, the collection is available in a choice of beautiful finishes, including Polished Brass, Antique Brass, Antique Silver and Chrome, making it easy to coordinate pieces throughout your bathroom.

And if you need a little extra hanging space, our folding swing hooks are a wonderfully practical addition. Perfect for the back of a bathroom door for towels, dressing gowns or robes, they are available in Polished Brass, Antique Brass and Antique Silver to match the finishes in our Classic Bathroom Collection.

Traditional, useful and made to last – because even the practical bits can be beautiful.

Hanging stuff?

Whether it’s curtains, tapestries, lights, macramé plant hangers, artwork or simply somewhere to hang your coat, we’ve got you covered.

We’ve been adding all sorts of useful hanging hardware to the website recently, including our solid brass curtain pole brackets, with their lovely Regency-style beehive detail, and our cast iron tapestry brackets. The tapestry brackets are sold individually and have a simple drop-in design with a grub screw to keep a 15mm rail or pole securely in place.

We’ve also just added three sets of beautiful ex-display curtain finials, along with two sets of ex-display curtain pole brackets suitable for 15mm or 22mm poles, depending on the set you choose.

Need a little more hanging space this autumn? Our floral cast iron wardrobe bracket projects far enough from the wall to accommodate coat hangers and works particularly well in hallways, boot rooms, bedrooms and utility rooms.

We’ve also received some simple cast iron ball finials for 15mm rods — a small finishing detail that keeps everything looking neat and tidy.

And then there’s one of our bestsellers: our bracket, pulley and cleat set. It’s ideal for lighting or anywhere you need to raise and lower something, with the added advantage of fixing to the side rather than suspending from the ceiling.

Finally, don’t forget our assortment of ceiling hooks and cup hooks for all those other things that need somewhere to hang.

Quite a lot of hanging stuff, as it turns out!
