A Craft with Soul: The History of Wrought Iron Hardware

In the Middle Ages, blacksmithing was a vital craft, and door hardware was not just a functional item but a symbol of the owner's status and wealth. Solid, angular, and faceted designs like this handle were typical for castles, fortresses, and important town buildings. Their purpose was not only to open a door but also to demonstrate strength, security, and prestige.

A Mark of Mastery: The Art of Faceting

Creating a faceted, multi-sided profile on a piece of iron was more than just an aesthetic choice. Unlike a simple round or hammered finish, crafting sharp, clean edges and flat planes required immense skill, precision, and perfect control over the material. It was how a master blacksmith demonstrated their expertise and distinguished their work from common, everyday hardware.

Installation and Care

How to Install Your Handle

Installation is straightforward and can be done yourself. The package includes four matching screws. Position the handle on your door or furniture, use a spirit level to ensure it's straight, and mark the four screw holes with a pencil. For hardwoods, we recommend pre-drilling pilot holes with a smaller drill bit to prevent the wood from splitting. Finally, screw the handle on securely.

How to Care for Your Handle

The oil-blackened finish is highly durable. For general maintenance, simply wipe the handle with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or wire brushes that could damage the surface. To revive the finish and enhance protection, especially in an outdoor setting, you can occasionally rub the surface with a cloth lightly dampened with linseed oil.

Important Notice

This pull handle is designed for opening and closing doors, gates, or cabinets. Although it is very strong and robust, it is not designed or certified as a safety support or grab rail (e.g., for stairs).
