Black iron door handle 289

THE HANDLE’S HIGHLIGHTS

The 289 iron door handle offers an original, old-fashioned look. This collection suits a nostalgic rural style.

This beautiful handle is cast in three finishes: black, polished iron and waxed rust. The finishes and material preserve its authentic, warm character.

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

Dauby, a Belgian foundry

Dauby makes its handles to order in Belgium across two collections. Création du Fer, to which this model belongs, is made entirely from 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. Its authentic designs, inspired by the latches of old farmhouses, suit characterful homes and more contemporary interiors where wood takes centre stage. PURE, the other collection, uses these traditional techniques to create clean lines inspired by the Bauhaus, in white bronze, raw bronze, raw metal or aged iron.

Care

The iron finishes are lacquered or varnished. No coating is completely scratch-resistant: a ring, a sharp object or everyday use can leave marks – and that is what gives each 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: it should not be polished, but maintained with beeswax or petroleum jelly. Never use an abrasive cleaner.
