These Victorian door pulls, dating from 1890, consist of a matching pair designed for architectural hardware applications in a domestic setting. Each piece combines cast brass mounts with a central clear lead crystal barrel. Ornate pierced backplates feature intricate scrollwork detailing, securing the handles to mounting surfaces. Turned finials cap the ends of each brass structure, complemented by stepped mouldings around the joints. Visible surface wear appears on the aged brass components, showing authentic signs of age through minor patina and tarnishing. The crystal elements display faceted cutting along their cylindrical lengths, reflecting light through the transparent material. Measuring 24.1 cm high by 2.8 cm deep, these fixtures are sized appropriately for residential interior doors. They can be installed on pantry doors, study entrances, or interior partition doors within a period home today, providing both functional grip and decorative Victorian character.

FAQs

These are late 19th to early 20th-century architectural hardware fixtures featuring central lead crystal or cut glass bars mounted onto decorative cast brass backplates and brackets.

They typically feature hand-cut or moulded lead crystal shafts fitted into heavy cast brass sockets, secured together with internal steel rods or threaded end finials.

Authentic period pieces display genuine surface wear, natural oxidisation in carved recesses, weight from high lead content in the crystal, and subtle casting irregularities.

Antique brass and crystal door handles can be installed on contemporary interior doors, double pantry doors, or custom wardrobe fronts to introduce architectural detail.

Clean the crystal elements using warm water and mild soap, while dusting the brass with a dry microfibre cloth to protect the original patina without using abrasive polish.
