Presenting a gorgeous and unique set of 9 Art Nouveau hand beaten bronze door handles with plates. Amazingly complete set! Probably made in the US circa 1910 and most definitely influenced by the English New Lyn 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 Set consists of: 6 double sided classic door handles/knobs with central lock pin – suitable for door of a minimum of 1.5 inches thick but can accommodate thicker door. Each of these 6 also come with their original back plates (x12) and keyhole covers (x12) for either side of the door. 2 handles/knobs with central lock pin but with small knob on backside- suitable for door of a minimum of 1.5 inches thick but can accommodate thicker door. This pair also has their original (front) back plates and a Yale back plate on the rear. 1 double sided turning door handles/knobs with turning central lock pin – suitable for door of a minimum of 1.5 inches thick but can accommodate thicker door. This also comes with it’s original back plates (x2). 1 Spare Keyhole cover, 2 spare back plates, 1 Spare plain Bronze Turning Knob with pin and 2 spare Hand-beaten Bronze Turning Knobs with pins. TOTAL OF 63 PIECES! These were originally used in the Mansion we rescued them from, with Yale Mortice Locks (a number of which we have listed separately in this category). 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 UNIQUE hand beaten Bronze Door Straps...

Originally established as a leading name in Asian elite circles, Alexander’s Collection now brings its unparalleled "Couture Art" philosophy to the world’s most discerning designers and collectors through 1stDibs.

Every panel represents a rare niche in contemporary design—a "Couture" trend in stone that only a handful of master artisans worldwide are still capable of executing. The Design History: A Romanov Legacy The soul of this design traces back to the Imperial House of Romanov. Empress Maria, wife of Emperor Paul I, was a celebrated tastemaker of her era. Returning from Europe, she famously replaced her diamond brooches with modest bunches of wildflowers, sparking a new fashion at the Russian court. Her personal favorite—the Lily of the Valley—serves as the inspiration for this piece. Chief Designer Alexander Anisimov...
