This French Louis XVI-style bronze door pull, dating from 1930–1940, has a turned baluster-shaped bar and circular rosettes.
Description from the seller
• Turned main body: Features a central bar with a pronounced, symmetrical baluster profile—a classic design element that replaces the sinuous, asymmetrical lines of earlier Rococo with Neoclassical restraint and geometry.
• Finials and moldings: The ends of the bar finish in elegant, rounded, stepped profiles reminiscent of molding or a spinning top, softening the piece’s visual transition.
• Brackets and rosettes: The handle is secured by two sturdy, curved brackets mounted on circular rosettes with concentric molded profiles, ensuring a firm fit without compromising ornamental harmony.
• Patina and finish: The bronze has a natural aged patina with tonal variations and wear consistent with use and the passage of time. This highlights the relief details and lends it a distinctly vintage character, making it ideal for stately doors, wooden gates, or period restoration projects.
Tracked shipping and careful packaging.
