Antique French Brass Door / Pull Handle with great patina – Paris, c. 1875
In excellent condition – No reserve.
Exceptional antique French architectural hardware, originating from an old residential property in Paris dating from around 1875.
This impressive brass door or pull handle is a true eye-catcher, featuring a beautifully fluted cylindrical grip, turned decorative collars and substantial curved supports. The heavy construction gives it a remarkably solid and sturdy feel.
The highlight is the wonderful original aged patina, with rich golden brass tones, darker areas and natural green verdigris developed over many decades. The patina gives the piece enormous character and makes it particularly attractive as a decorative architectural object.
