Beskrivelse fra sælger
Vintage Art Nouveau Bronze Mail Slot Door Handle – "Lettres" Letterbox Handle – c. 1900–1910
Rare and highly decorative French Art Nouveau bronze mail slot door handle from the early 20th century, combining elegance with functionality.
The handle has been carefully polished and finished with protective wax, while the original bronze backplate retains its traditional black painted finish, creating a striking contrast. A superb architectural antique, ideal for restoring a period townhouse, villa, or historic entrance.
Art Nouveau architecture embraced flowing natural forms and handcrafted decorative ironmongery. Letterbox handles such as this were produced in limited numbers and are increasingly difficult to find complete and in good original condition.
Condition
Good used condition with attractive original patina.
Handle professionally polished and waxed.
The original black-painted backplate has been intentionally preserved to emphasize the beautiful contrast with the polished bronze handle. The paint can easily be removed if a full bronze finish is preferred. Ready for installation.
