Any suggestions for replacing swinging door hinges?

We need to replace the hinge for the swinging door in our 1915 house (PO tried to modify and broke the original hinge) and haven't had much luck finding a vintage part for it---wondering if anyone has any experience with the new hardware for swinging doors and would recommend a particular manufacturer or company. (Right now I'm looking at the versions that Historic Houseparts and House of Antique Hardware sell, but open to whatever we can find!) We are using the original door but not wedded to the original hinge dimensions---can adjust the cut in the door or floor accordingly if needed. Because it's the original door, though, it's quite heavy so I think we need hinges intended for heavier doors vs. lighter modern doors.

Would love any recs or advice from anyone who's tried this---thanks!!
