Unlocking Timeless Elegance: Discovering Enchanting Door Handles for Classic Homes
Last time, we focused on luxury, showcasing the must-have door handles for any luxurious abode. But what about returning to the basic idea of what a traditional door handle represents? When exploring ideas of tradition in England, we tend to concentrate on Georgian, Victorian-style, or 1930s homes – eras when the UK experienced mass housebuilding. And those homes were so successful, with their iconic designs, that we often consider them as our quintessential traditional homes.
So, what defines the traditional door handle for a traditional home? Let’s explore!
The Victorian Scroll Handle
Perfect for? A Victorian-Styled Home
From the traditional range of our favourite Cumbrian ironmongers, the Victorian Scroll handle stands out with its elegance. This is an elegant and stylish Victorian-style handle with an upturned design, complemented by a gracefully shaped backplate. The backplate’s shouldered form exudes classical charm, while the lever itself boasts a scroll style, making it incredibly easy to grip. With its simple yet sophisticated design, this handle proves to be remarkably versatile and suitable for various environments. Whether you’re working on a heritage project or looking to restyle your Victorian home, this is one of the most perfect handles for you. And due to its fine craftsmanship, there is added reliability.
Georgian Lever On A Round Rose Handle
Perfect for a Classical Georgian London Townhouse
Yet again, Carlisle Brass is the go-to when it comes to a traditional door handle. This time, we are talking about the grand and opulent era of the Georgians. If you have a project featuring Georgian-style properties, look no further than the Georgian Lever On A Round Rose Handle, bringing back memories of a bygone era, the Georgian handle exudes timeless charm with its traditional roped pattern adornment. The scroll curved lever is gracefully embellished with a rope design, while the rose showcases the same elegant edging, completing the classic look. So whether you’re working on your Georgian traditional townhouse or creating a new project that harks back to this glorious era of architecture, look no further than us and our friends at Carlisle Brass.
Wentworth Lever On A Backplate
Perfect for Your Traditional 1930s Home
If you love your pre-World War Two home, when the suburbs were spectacularly expanded, then you may want to decorate it with the class and style it deserves. Whether you live in a mock Tudor or Georgian-styled home, the Wentworth Lever On A Backplate is perfect for you – again, it comes from our friends at Carlisle Brass. It is a gracefully swept curved handle mounted on a beautifully sculpted edge-shaped backplate. The lever boasts an exquisite etched swirl shape that seamlessly transitions into a prominent high curve, ensuring effortless grip and usage. Complementing the lever’s style, the backplate features a unique stepped design, creating a harmonious and sophisticated ensemble. With its refined appearance, this handle effortlessly elevates the aesthetics of any interior.
