Black iron door knob 1018 on a round rose

THE HANDLE’S FEATURES

The 1018 iron black door knob has a distinctive, old-fashioned style. This collection suits rustic interiors and evokes a sense of nostalgia.

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 keyhole roses. You can find them at the bottom of the product page.

Dauby, a Belgian foundry

Dauby makes its handles to order in Belgium in two collections. Création du Fer, which includes this model, is made entirely from solid iron: each piece is cast in a sand mould and then finished by hand. It comes in three finishes: polished iron, black (aged iron) and waxed rust. Inspired by the latches of old farmhouses, these authentic designs suit both characterful homes and 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

The iron finishes are lacquered or varnished. No coating is completely scratch-resistant: rings, sharp objects and everyday use can leave marks, adding to the character of the piece. 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; care for it with beeswax or petroleum jelly. Never use an abrasive cleaner.
