Door Handles - Rustic & Black Antique
Black antique ironwork is available in budget or superior quality so will suit many different applications.
Malleable Iron
English manufactured brand Kirkpatrick uses malleable iron for its superior strength and durability and finishes it with rust-proofing and high quality paints. This type of black antique door handle will benefit from a light oiling of its moving parts and a regular coating of wax on its surface. Any type of iron is susceptible to rusting, but by choosing Kirkpatrick malleable iron door handles you can be confident that you are purchasing a quality product which is both functional and highly decorative. If well maintained these handles offer many years of service and pleasure.
Unique Hand-forged Handles
Rustic door handles have a more natural iron colour and a protective coating of bees wax. No two pieces are alike as each item is hand-forged with characteristic hammer marks at the edges. Examples of these door handles can be seen at the historic colleges of Oxford University and in many period homes.
