Part of the beautiful Louis XVI range of window and door furniture; these very highly decorative door handles are hand-crafted and cast from premium grade, solid brass. All of the ironmongery in this range carry the graceful detail typical of the Louis XVI design.
Louis XVI ruled as King of France from 1774 to 1792. Executed for treason 1793, his death signalled the end of absolute monarchy in France and brought about the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte.
Similar to the Rococo’s style of slender forms with some motifs (flowers, symbols of love, hunting, musical instruments etc), the Louis XVI style differs from Rococo by straight lines, geometric curves and classical motifs.
These British made, authentic period handles can recreate an accurate historical scene in buildings of importance, whilst also putting that perfect finishing touch to areas of new interior design.
This handle can be used as either an exterior or interior door handle, but is normally fitted as an interior door handle, as it has no keyhole.
It can be supplied as either a solid brass door handle (choose from lacquered or unlacquered) or in one of the range of plated or applied finishes.
The plated and applied finishes range from both antique to contemporary, so will suit almost any style of decor. Choose from a range of brass, chrome and nickel finishes, in antique, polished or satin styles.
These handles are also available in gold or silver plate.
Silver door handles are available as either silver plated handles or antique silver door handles.
Gold door handles are available in either Titanium Gold or in Antique Gold Plate.
Titanium gold handles are supplied in a gold coloured PVD finish. PVD stands for “Physical Vapour Deposition”, this is a state-of-the-art process where molecules of hardwearing metals are deposited onto the handle surface. This microscopic layer protects the finish from discolouration. This protective layer makes this gold door handle especially suitable for use in normally high wear-and-tear situations, such as stately homes, public buildings, retail establishments, hotels and commercial premises.
An antique gold handle is plated in genuine 24 Ct gold. A stunning finish, supplied as special order only. Please contact us at the email address below for a quotation for gold plated door handles.
Plate Size: 355 x 74mm
