Just another beautiful example of traditional design in door hardware… I love how the verdigris patination that is collecting in the valleys is almost a royal blue in this example, and the grace that the handle falls away towards the earth with. You can see that extra screws have been added, to help keep the handle at a useable angle – the extra-droopy design must put a fair bit of strain on the fixture.
