Brass door handle PRADO - in antique historical style
Historic brass door handle PRADO for old buildings from the Wilhelminian era
The PRADO brass door handle is an elegant architectural detail, ideal for the stylish renovation of old buildings from the Wilhelminian era (1870 to 1914). This type of door handle was widely used in many prestigious town houses. The handle is made of solid cast brass and is a faithful reproduction of a model from the historicism period. The ends of the handle are characterised by the typical conical decorations of the period.
Different surface finishes, whether polished or patinated brass, nickel-plated or black lacquered, give the door fitting a unique look.
Combine the door handle with rosettes or long escutcheons from this series and customise your door set to your personal preference. You can also select the corresponding bolt sets for a WC door.

Mounting and care

Installation instructions
Mounting room door sets requires little effort: Door plates or handle rosettes are fitted, the spindle is inserted through the lock follower, the door handles are mounted on both sides of the spindle using a grub screw (if the spindle is too lengthy, it can easily be shortened to your door thickness using a hacksaw). Door plates or roses are aligned and mounted on the door leaf using the wood screws.All installation work should be carried out by a specialist. We accept no liability for damage caused by improper mounting.
Care instructions
Brass is alive! We always deliver brass fittings unlacquered. The surface will darken slightly and become more irregular and vibrant in colour. The fitting develops its own patina and approaches the appearance of original historical fittings. If you wish, you can polish it again from time to time. We recommend Nevr Dull® polishing pad for this purpose. Nickel-plated surfaces are sensitive to acids. They should only be cleaned with a mild detergent and a soft cloth.
