The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

During the 17th and 18th centuries, cast bronze door handles were crafted as functional decorative hardware for prominent estates and public buildings. Motifs such as clasped hands or spiralled batons were frequently employed to symbolize strength, security, or welcome while demonstrating the technical skill of foundry metalworkers.

Historic door handles were predominantly cast in solid bronze or brass using lost-wax or sand-moulding processes, then attached to hand-forged iron spindles. Surfaces were hand-chased and finished to allow natural patination to develop across centuries of tactile use.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-forged iron components with subtle hand-tool irregularities, distinct manual chasing marks, and deep, uneven patination from historical handling. Modern reproductions typically display uniform machine-cut threads, artificial chemical patinas, and modern casting seams.

Period bronze hardware can be integrated into contemporary spaces as statement architectural fittings on custom entrance doors, mounted on bespoke display stands as sculptural metalwork, or repurposed for modern cabinetry to add a tactile historical layer.

Preserve historic bronze door handles by dusting regularly with a dry cloth and applying a thin coat of microcrystalline wax annually to protect the metal from oxidisation. Avoid chemical metal polishes, abrasive pads, or stripping agents, as these permanently remove the authentic surface patina.
