AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An elegant pair of French bronze door handles by the esteemed Parisian hardware manufacturer L. Pinet, celebrated for its refined architectural fittings and exceptional metalwork during the Belle Époque period.
Each handle displays a graceful, well-balanced form, demonstrating the firm’s commitment to both functional excellence and aesthetic sophistication. The silhouettes are harmonious and tactile, with gently contoured grips that reflect thoughtful ergonomic design.
The bronze has developed a rich, naturally aged patina, ranging from warm honeyed tones to deeper umber highlights in recessed areas. This beautifully matured surface lends depth and authenticity, accentuating the sculptural quality of the metal and speaking to decades of careful use. No structural weaknesses observed. The patina is even and particularly attractive.
Originally conceived as door handles, the pair may equally be repurposed as cabinet or cupboard pulls, lending refined period charm to both traditional and contemporary interiors.

Distance horizontal mounting holes: 12cm
