Fixed exterior iron door knob 278

THE BENEFITS OF THE HANDLE

The 278 fixed exterior iron door knob offers an original, traditional look. This collection suits a nostalgic country style.

This beautiful handle is cast in two finishes: black and waxed rust. The finishes and material preserve the piece’s authentic, warm appearance.

Dauby, a Belgian foundry

Dauby makes its handles to order in Belgium in 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 in one of three finishes: polished iron, black (aged iron) or waxed rust. Inspired by the latches of old farmhouses, its authentic designs suit both characterful homes and more contemporary interiors where wood features prominently. 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 — 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 grainy: do not polish it; care for it with beeswax or petroleum jelly. Never use an abrasive cleaner.
