Choosing Antique Brass Door Handles

Lever handles. Handles on backplates come as latch, lock, bathroom and Euro profile versions, so match the backplate to the lock or latch in the door. Handles on rose work on any door, with a separate escutcheon or thumb turn where needed.

Knobs. Mortice knobs suit period and cottage doors, and centre door knobs finish a front door.

Pull handles. Antique brass door pull handles come as bolt through, face fix and back to back fixing, for front doors, kitchen doors and commercial doors.

Locks and latches. Heritage Brass handles are sold without locks or latches. See antique brass York locks and latches from the York Security collection by M.Marcus.

Matching, ageing and showrooms

Matching Antique Brass Door Furniture

One finish for the whole door. Match the handle, escutcheon, finger plate, door stop and hinges in antique brass, and carry it through to the kitchen and windows.

Hand finished, so every piece is unique. Heritage Brass polishes the brass, applies a bronze patina, then brushes some of it back by hand to expose the brass below, before sealing it with a clear electrophoretic lacquer. Expect slight differences in shade between pieces.

See it in person. Heritage Brass antique brass is on display at our Kendal and Carlisle showrooms. Trade Door Handles is part of T.H. Wiggans Ironmongery, trading since 1976.
