Large Cast Iron Door Handle, Arched with Hammered Finish, 17.7 cm
Strength and Character for Your Doors
This large handle is ideal for use on main entrance doors, massive barn doors, heavy garden gates, or on the door to a wine cellar. Its distinct historical character is perfectly suited for renovated properties, log cabins, and timber-framed houses, as well as for interiors with a fantasy or medieval theme, or in rustically furnished restaurants and pubs. It is an element that not only serves a purpose but also tells a story.
The Legacy of Early Medieval Architecture
The Beauty of the Romanesque Arch
While the Gothic style is known for its slender lines and pointed arches, the preceding Romanesque period was characterized by massive, heavy forms and simple semi-circular arches. Strength, stability, and durability were key. This is precisely the impression evoked by the simple and powerful shape of this handle. Its design, free of unnecessary frills, directly references the architecture of the early Middle Ages—of castles, fortresses, and monasteries, where functionality and strength were the absolute priority.
A Point of Interest: The Practicality of a Hammered Surface
The pronounced, uneven surface texture that imitates hammer blows was not just an aesthetic choice in the past. It also had practical advantages. A rough surface was much better at hiding minor scratches, scuffs, and dents that inevitably occurred during daily use. It also provided a slightly more secure grip than a perfectly smooth surface, which was an advantage in damp conditions or when handling with gloves.

Installation and Care
Simple and Sturdy Installation
Installation is easy. Place the handle on the door, level it in the desired position, and mark the centers of both mounting holes. Pre-drill the holes in the wooden surface to prevent the wood from splitting. Then, fasten the handle securely to the surface using the included screws.
How to Care for the Handle's Surface
This handle is virtually maintenance-free. To clean off dust and normal dirt, simply wipe it with a dry or slightly damp cloth. To revive and reinforce the protective layer, especially in an outdoor environment, you can occasionally treat the surface with a thin layer of natural oil or wax.
What to Avoid
This handle is designed for opening doors and gates. Do not use it as a footstep, a stop, an anchor point, or as a support for lifting. For cleaning, avoid using abrasive products that could damage the surface finish.
