271 polished iron door handle

THE HANDLE’S HIGHLIGHTS

The 271 iron door handle offers a distinctive period style. This collection suits nostalgic rural interiors.

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. Creation of Iron, which includes this model, is made entirely of solid iron: each piece is cast in a sand mould, then finished by hand in one of three finishes: polished iron, black (aged iron) or waxed rust. Inspired by the latches of old farmhouses, these authentic designs suit characterful homes as well as 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: a ring, a sharp object or everyday use can leave its mark — and that is part of the piece’s character. If the black lacquer is damaged, it can be touched up with RAL 9005. The waxed rust finish is deliberately rough and grainy: it should not be polished, but maintained with beeswax or petroleum jelly. Never use an abrasive cleaner.
