Satin white bronze door handle (matt chrome look) on a bronze backplate 1928/P40

THE HANDLE’S HIGHLIGHTS

The 1928 satin white bronze door handle was designed by a young German industrial architect. The contrast between its curved and straight lines gives it an innovative, elegant style. This door handle is also available on a rose.

It is cast in solid bronze as part of Dauby’s PURE collection, which comes in six finishes: white bronze, satin white bronze, raw bronze, polished raw bronze, raw metal and aged iron. Only the black finish is made of lacquered iron.

The satin white bronze finish

This model is shown in satin white bronze, which we describe as having a ‘matt chrome look’: a metallic grey without shine, similar to brushed chrome, but cast the traditional way in a sand mould, giving it a textured surface that is never perfectly smooth. With use, the areas touched by hand gradually lighten.

Complete your handle with its matching lock roses, which you’ll find at the bottom of the product page.

Dauby, a Belgian foundry

Dauby makes its handles to order in Belgium in two collections. PURE, which includes this model, uses traditional foundry techniques – casting solid bronze in a sand mould – to create clean lines inspired by the Bauhaus. Création du Fer, the other collection, is made entirely of solid iron, with rustic designs inspired by the latches of old farmhouses.

Care

Dauby’s bronze is a living material: its colour deepens over time, while the areas touched by hand polish themselves naturally. The manufacturer calls this a living finish and recommends letting it develop – no maintenance is needed. Only the black finish is made of lacquered iron: if the lacquer is damaged, it can be touched up in RAL 9005. To restore the original shine of a bronze finish, all you need is a soft cloth and a copper or silver polish. Never use an abrasive cleaner.
