Door handle - 20th century - Door handle, Sphinx.

The lot features an antique door handle in the shape of a Sphinx's head. It's very massive and heavy, likely intended for opening large doors or castle gates. This is a chance antique find; its origin and history are unknown, but judging by the natural patina and distinctive casting and screw threads, it's estimated to be from the late 19th or early 20th century. My guess is that it was intended for Freemasonry, but I think an expert will weigh in.
