Twisted Medieval Door Pull Handle with Trefoil Mounts, 10 Inch

Gothic Design and a Firm Grip

The handle has a robust, rounded U-shape that fits perfectly in the hand. The central part of the grip is decorated with a distinctive spiral twist that is both pleasing to the eye and provides a tactile hold. Each end of the handle is attached to a decorative mounting plate in the shape of a Gothic trefoil (three-leaf clover). Each plate has three screw holes, which ensures a very firm and stable attachment. The entire piece is cast from steel and has a rustic, blackened finish.

A Universal Handle for Doors, Gates, and Furniture

This sturdy handle is made for large and heavy doors, gates, or wickets where a firm grip is needed. It is ideal for sliding barn doors, for the entrance door to a log cabin or cottage, or as a stylish handle for a large chest. You can mount it both vertically and horizontally and even use it as a grab rail or support on a staircase.

The Symbolism of Gothic Craftsmanship

This piece combines two elements typical of Gothic craftsmanship. The twisted handle was a demonstration of a blacksmith's skill, while the trefoil that forms the mounting plates is one of the most significant symbols of Gothic architecture. In Christian symbolism, it represents the Holy Trinity and was widely used in the decoration of cathedrals and churches. This handle is therefore not just a piece of iron, but carries deep historical and symbolic value.

A Fascinating Fact from History

Did you know that Gothic builders were masters of geometry, which they considered to be a reflection of divine order in the world? For them, shapes like the triangle (from which the trefoil is derived) and the circle were not just for decoration. They believed these forms held deep spiritual meaning and helped to create a harmonious space that lifts the spirit towards the heavens. Even a small detail like the shape of this handle could thus be part of a grand vision.

Installation and Care

How to Install the Product

Hold the handle against the door, level it, and mark the position of the six mounting holes (three on each side). Drill the holes and fasten the handle securely. Given the handle's robust nature, use sufficiently strong screws. Screws are not included.

How to Care for the Product

This handle is virtually maintenance-free. To clean the surface, use only a dry or slightly damp cloth.

What to Note

This handle is designed for use on solid doors or gates. Do not install it on light or hollow doors that could be damaged or torn by strong pulling.
