A set of large push-pull handles made up of two large glass pieces with their fixings. France second half 20th century. Former shop fittings.
Each of the two striking glass slabs is unique, with all the characteristics of handcrafted work including small bubbles, folds and imperfections from the making process; the soft amber tone appears lighter or darker depending on the levels of direct light. The large glass slabs are in good condition, with minor signs of age-appropriate wear including small nicks and light scratches. The brass (or bronze) fixings have been refinished and lightly polished; they have minor signs of age and use and are unlaquered, so will darken with age.
Installation
The set is supplied with the original fixings as shown in image 8; there is some wear to the internal parts, including the nylon buffers, however they are not visible on installation, and all pieces function well. The handles have previously been used either side of a single door, however you could amend or replace the central rod to use the handles on a thicker door...
