E. R. Butler & Co.

Beacon Hill’s E. R. Butler displays its collection of fine architectural hardware as if it were precious jewelry. The company specializes in early American, Federal, and Georgian hardware, all painstakingly crafted (partly by hand) to almost exactly match the original styles — save for invisible, 21st-century improvements in function, that is. Butler also produces custom hardware to order, collaborating with customers, architects, and designers to ensure aesthetic perfection.
