BECDF polished iron door handle

THE HANDLE’S HIGHLIGHTS

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

This beautiful handle is cast 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 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 in two collections. Création du Fer, which includes this model, is made entirely of solid iron: each piece is cast in a sand mould and 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 both characterful homes and more contemporary, wood-dominated interiors. 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 will leave marks – that is what gives each piece its character. If the black lacquer is damaged, it can be touched up in RAL 9005. The waxed rust finish is deliberately rough and grainy: it should not be polished, but cared for with beeswax or petroleum jelly. Never use an abrasive cleaner.
