AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Elegant pair of decorative brass door handles, characterized by refined sculptural work in the form of an elephant head, with an elongated trunk, side ears and finely engraved ornamental details.

The design combines functionality and decorative value, evoking the exotic and colonial taste of vintage furnishings. The slender shape and raised relief details give the handles a strong personality, making them ideal for solid wood doors, wardrobes, sideboards and distinctive furniture.

The surface features a dark burnished finish, enriched by bronze-gold highlights that enhance the sculpture details.

The handles have deliberately been left with their vintage patina, without polishing, to preserve the lived-in aesthetics and the charm of the metal. Chromatic variations and signs of time contribute to their distinctive character.
