THE HANDLE’S KEY FEATURES

The 289 iron door handle has an original, antique style. This collection suits rustic interiors with a nostalgic feel.

This beautiful handle is cast in three finishes: black, polished iron and waxed rust. The finishes and material preserve its authentic, warm appearance.

Complete your handle set with the 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. Iron Creations, 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-dominated 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 its mark – and that is 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: do not polish it; maintain it with beeswax or petroleum jelly. Never use an abrasive cleaner.
