Pair of Art Nouveau Hand Beaten Bronze Door Push Plates

About the Item

Presenting a gorgeous and unique pair of art nouveau hand beaten bronze door push plates. Each being 13.5 inches long. Probably made in the US circa 1910 and most definitely influenced by the English New Lynn School of Arts and Crafts Era hand-beaten copper pieces. These are without doubt Art Nouveau in style and from the period. They were salvaged from a Mansion in Dallas that was built in 1929. We are of the opinion that these were ‘custom made’ pieces. They are unmarked and unsigned and they appear to be made of bronze with a brass and copper mix. The fact that they are hand beaten bronze, is highly unusual in itself as most of these types of pieces were copper. Also, we rescued these from the now demolished Mansion along with the most amazing and unique hand beaten Bronze Door Handles and hardware (posted separately) which likewise have no markings and are unlike anything we have seen before. The original bronze door hinges (posted separately) are marked as being made by “McKinney”, so it is plausible that McKinney could have made all the hardware, but we do not think so, as McKinney only appear to have sold high-end hinges.
