Description from the seller
Jugendstil / Art Nouveau Large Brass Door Handle Set with Thumb Latch
In excellent condition – No reserve.
Exceptional original Jugendstil / Art Nouveau door handle set, salvaged from an old shop door. This is the large, architectural model with elegant curved levers and integrated thumb-operated latch mechanism—a refined and highly decorative feature typical of quality early 20th-century shopfront hardware.
Professionally polished to a warm golden gloss and waxed, preserving crisp contours and original character. Heavy, solid brass with strong sculptural presence. Complete with original internal lock mechanism.
A rare, authentic set ideal for restoration projects, historic interiors, or as a statement piece in boutique, hospitality, or high-end residential settings.
