Black vertical door handle on iron plate BECDF

HANDLE HIGHLIGHTS

The BECDF iron lever handle has an original, traditional style. This collection complements rustic interiors and evokes a sense of nostalgia.

This beautiful handle is cast and comes in three finishes: black, polished iron and waxed rust. The finishes and material preserve the piece’s authentic, warm appearance.

Complete your handle set with its matching keyhole roses. You’ll find them at the bottom of the product page.

This retro handle is also available on an oval backplate

Dauby, a Belgian foundry

Dauby makes its handles to order in Belgium in two collections. Création du Fer, to which this model belongs, is made entirely of solid iron: each piece is cast in a sand mould and then finished by hand in one of three finishes: polished iron, black (aged iron) or waxed rust. Inspired by the latches of old farmhouses, its authentic designs suit homes full of character as well as more contemporary interiors where wood takes centre stage. PURE, the other collection, uses the same traditional techniques to create clean lines inspired by the Bauhaus, in white bronze, raw bronze, raw metal or aged iron.

Care

Iron finishes are lacquered or varnished. No coating is completely scratch-resistant: a ring, a sharp object or everyday use will leave marks — and that is what gives the piece its character. If the black lacquer is damaged, it can be touched up with RAL 9005. The waxed rust finish is deliberately rough and grainy: do not polish it; maintain it with beeswax or petroleum jelly. Never use an abrasive cleaner.
