They are gorgeous, gorgeous door handles, aren’t they?! They are Italian, and tagged with both brass and bronze, so we are not sure if they are an alloy of these metals, or perhaps different metals were used to make different parts.

Love how they seem to be the same woman, at different times. Love the subtlety of the presence of her wings … she is so close to being human. Also love her flexibility! That is probably the thing that gives away her etherealness, actually!
And how beautiful is the composition of the doors! They look as if they are solid walls, made of tiny, tiny square bricks.

One of the comments on its original placing: “If I knew where they were, I’d be out there with my screwdriver”. No exclamation mark … he is serious! And we heartily agree.
