About the Item

A bold and highly decorative pair of large circular brass door pulls by renowned Mexican designer Pepe Mendoza, produced in the 1950s. Each piece showcases a stylized Chinese character—likely symbolizing fortune or blessing (福)—framed by deep blue-green enamel, a signature color of Mendoza’s workshop. The recessed enamel creates a rich contrast with the polished brass surface, enhancing the sculptural quality of the design. Stamped on the reverse: “Mendoza / Hecho en México”, these pulls reflect Mendoza’s unique approach to blending Asian symbolism with Mexican modernism, often seen in his architectural hardware and custom commissions. Ideal as statement handles, cabinet hardware, or decorative wall elements, they offer both artistic and functional value. Measurements (each): 5.50 inches in diameter x 0.75 inches deep (13.8 cm x 1.7 cm)
