Rust iron door handle 254

HANDLE FEATURES

The 254 iron door handle on a long backplate offers 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 its 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, its authentic designs suit characterful homes as well as 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 can leave a mark – and that is part of what gives each piece its character. If the black lacquer becomes damaged, it can be touched up with RAL 9005. The waxed rust finish is deliberately rough and grainy: do not polish it; care for it with beeswax or petroleum jelly. Never use an abrasive cleaner.
