Description from the seller
Pair of large vintage die-cast aluminum handles – Model G/002 – 1960s/1970s
Splendid and exceptional pair of large architectural handles in full Mid-Century Modern style, dating from the period spanning the 1960s and 1970s.
The handles are made of heavy die-cast aluminum, finished on the face with a rich raised sculptural texture that is asymmetrical and geometric, reminiscent of the abstract works of the modernist avant-garde of the period.
On the back of each piece the foundry mark is clearly visible with the model code G/002.
Thanks to their substantial size and dramatic visual impact, these elements were used as showcase handles for entrance gates, large designer sliding doors, or to customize high-end architect-style furniture and mid-century modern pieces. The lot includes both handles complete with their original metal mounting plates (firmly fixed to the back with screws), ready to install.
Period: 1960s / 1970s Style: Abstract, Modernist
Material: Die-cast aluminum, gray color
Markings: Printed code on the back "G/002"
Quantity: 2 pieces (pair)
Single handle dimensions:
Length: 20 cm
Height: 11 cm

Excellent vintage condition with minor signs of age
The items display a beautiful patina consistent with their age and use, which enhances their raw sculptural character typical of Brutalist design. No structural cracks or notable defects. The rear mounting plates are intact and functional. Please view the photos carefully, which are an integral part of the description.
