Vertical lever handle on a polished iron backplate BECDF

THE HANDLE’S HIGHLIGHTS

The BECDF door handle in polished iron has an original, 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 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, across two collections. Création du Fer, which includes this model, is made entirely of 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, wood-led interiors. 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: a ring, a sharp object or everyday use will leave marks – and that is part of 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 textured: it should not be polished, but cared for with beeswax or petroleum jelly. Never use an abrasive cleaner.
