Art Deco Door Handles

Art at your fingertips with Art Deco door handles!

Art Deco, short for Arts Décoratifs, is an artistic movement that was very much in vogue in the 1920s and 1930s. The Art Deco style is distinguished by its generous geometric lines, its gilding and its flamboyant contrasts…

This movement touches the world of architecture, particularly interior design and decoration. Art Deco can be found in furniture and everyday objects, which take on a whole new dimension thanks to their distinctive design.

Art Deco door handles are powerful decorative accessories whose unique style produces an immediate effect.

1. The unique style of Art Deco door handles

The Art Deco style brings a touch of elegance and glamour to your interior while keeping your comfort in mind. Several types of door handles can lay claim to this chic and fashionable decorative style.

The vintage door handle: the art of retro!

The retro door handle, inspired by the years from the 1930s to the 1960s, perfectly embodies the Art Deco style. The curved shapes and the fluid design of the lever make these vintage door handles perfect ambassadors of this early 20th-century style.

The door handle on a long plate: the classic reinvented!

The handle on a long plate is making a comeback in our interiors. Hardware designers are competing in ingenuity and creativity to offer us models brought up to date. Paired with a finely sculpted lever handle available in copper or polished nickel finish, the handle on a long plate acquires its Art Deco character to decorate your solid wood doors. With or without lock and key, your living room or bedroom doors benefit from the finest embellishments!

The original door handle: modern art in decoration!

The Art Deco style is not limited to classic door handles or retro door handles, as it can equally be showcased through original door handles! Here are a few examples!

Striped golden door handle - Larisa Collection

This original door handle embodies all the hallmarks of Art Deco, combining a refined design, an elegant shape and a sparkling colour. Ideal for enhancing your interior doors, this model will delight lovers of chic interior décor.

Brass door handle - Seven Collection

It is the singular shape of the lever that gives this atypical door handle all its charm. The gilded brass finish adds the Art Deco touch to your living room or bedroom doors. The square rose creates an immediate contrast with the slender appearance of the tapered lever.

The elegance of Art Deco is brought by all types of door handles: classic door handles, vintage handles or modern door handles, all of which are luxury handles!

2. The generous shapes of Art Deco door handles

Art Deco furniture is characterised by its geometric lines, precious materials, minimalism and above all its refinement. This quest is clearly visible in the furniture and objects created by great Art Deco designers such as Jean-Michel Frank and Eugène Printz. Door hardware draws heavily on these artists to offer products with a purely Art Deco design!

Refinement, elegance and comfort are the watchwords of Art Deco.

Retro interior handle - Robine Collection

This door handle is inspired by the codes of Art Deco. Its ergonomics, its slender appearance and its golden colour offer a stylish product for the doors of your home.

Spiral motifs and floral motifs are widely used in Art Deco.

Designers love spiral motifs, which can symbolise a flower or a fruit.

The spiral motifs of this model, accentuated by the lock escutcheon with privacy bolt in the same finish, give a 1930s feel to your interior doors. The pairing of the handle and the escutcheon with lock produces a luxurious effect.

This gold door handle on a round plate perfectly illustrates the Art Deco style. The sparkling golden colour combined with the pearl formed at the junction of the lever are the defining features of this flamboyant decorative style.

Designer door handles - Tupai 738 Collections

In bronze or antique silver finish, the curves of the scrolls and the plate at the end of the lever give a light and elegant appearance to this collection of door handles, ideal for enhancing a retro interior.

The shape of the roses plays a key role in the style produced. A rectangular rose produces a completely different decorative effect from a round or oval rose.

3. The noble materials of Art Deco door handles

Art Deco shows no preference for any particular material and instead delights in using disparate materials. A piece of raw wood furniture will be decorated with raw brass drawer handles or a polished brass lock.

Brass, bronze and iron are materials often used, but the modern designer frequently enjoys turning to aluminium or stainless steel!

Connoisseurs often choose the chrome bronze handle for its authentic look, which can be paired with a black bronze handle.

Iron door handle

Iron is often associated with exterior door handles (garage, cellar or gate doors), but designers are increasingly using a variety of materials for ultra-trendy interior handles with an atypical design, such as this Collection 289!

Interior designers and decorators can now count on cement door handles with this exceptional collection!

Other materials such as zamak, aluminium and stainless steel are also used in decorative hardware, not only for the interior door handle but also for the escutcheon (keyed or privacy bolt) and the many door accessories (door knocker, door stop, etc.). Porcelain, long reserved for door knobs, is making a major comeback to offer particularly decorative door handles.

Beyond materials, interior decorators can also count on the variety of finishes and colours of contemporary door handles.

4. Door handles in intense colours

The Art Deco style loves to play with the shimmering colours of gilding as well as more neutral tones such as chrome or satin nickel…
