Victorian Contemporary, Regency & Georgian Style Brass Door Handles

Firstly they are available in many different designs.  You could buy a basic Victorian contemporary design for example, which is square and simple in nature.  Alternatively you can try the more ornate Regency design featuring inset corners and a delightful design around the edges. In addition if you are looking for a period style then perhaps the Georgian style handle range maybe more suited to your needs.

Lever Latch, Lock & Bathroom Door Handles

Secondly they are available in latch, lock and bathroom designs. This allows you to situate them all over the house.  You can choose which doors you would like to lock, which ones you would prefer to keep unlocked at all times and have the bathroom sets situated on toilets and bathrooms enabling them to be locked with a turn of the thumb and finger. This gives you great versatility and you can still keep the same essential style of brass door handles throughout your home.

Finally the majority of our brass handles are solid brass and lacquered and are easy to maintain. All that is required in order to keep them gleaming and looking as good in years to come as they will the day you put them in place, is to regularly wipe a damp cloth over them.  As they are lacquered we do not recommend using anything but a damp cloth as the use of any polish or solvent can result in the lacquer breaking down and thus shortening the life span and quality look of the handle.

In addition to polished brass we are also available to supply satin brass, antique brass, un-lacquered and electro brass finishes. If you have any questions relating to any of these finishes please do not hesitate to contact us.

Art Deco Door Handles

We have expanded our range of Art Deco influenced handles to include the Waldorf, Delta Mk2, Deco Mk2, Charlston and Broadway. All of these handle/knob sets are made from quality hot forged brass and all are available in polished chrome and satin chrome, with the Delta Mk2, Charlston, Broadway and Waldorf also available in polished brass.

Deco Mk2, Waldorf and Delta Mk2 Lever Handles

As well as Art deco lever door  handles we have also added two mortice knobs on long backplates, which also compliment this style perfectly.

British Made Art Deco Door Handles

As always our online range is just a fraction of what we sell, some of our more popular levers are bespoke products made to order by the very best British manufacturers. Due to delivery times, costs and specification of these door handles we would prefer to discuss them with you before you order,  so they are not yet available for instant purchase online. If you are looking for a more bespoke Art Deco door handle or one offered in a more unusual finish such as antique brass, bronze or nickel, please telephone us on 01344 876955 or our freephone number above.

Gianna Designer Solid Brass Lever on Rose

Here at the shop we pride ourselves on selling quality products to suit all projects and the newest lever on rose we are offering online is no exception. The “Gianna” is a solid brass lever handle, available in Polished or Satin Chrome (Also Polished brass by request). From the same range as the Aurelia, one of our best selling handles, this product is again demonstrating the ability to have a solid brass lever for the price of a zinc based or hollow stainless steel handle, like those offered most widely now online.

We are sure this handle would be very popular, even at a much higher rate, as it closely resembles a handle already popular in our range at nearly twice the price- see if you can guess which one…!

As well as having a beautiful sweeping design, that is both complimentary to many styles and comfortable to use, this handle is also notable for the fact it is a little longer than many other lever handles at 135mm.

We know you will love this handle, and as this is a stock line you can generally expect to receive your handles the next day (if ordered before 2.30pm), although we always recommend checking if this is essential. If you are looking for a large volume of handles you can also contact us to see if we can offer any additional discount, as for case quantities and pallet rates we can always offer an even more competitive rate.

Managing a building project and want to specify the Gianna handle? (or any others from our range) Contact us now to see what incentives we can offer.

Empire State & Chrysler Buildings

Art Deco was a hugely popular design movement in the 1920′s and 1930′s, which has also had a number of resurgences over the years. The design took many aspects from cubism and futurism and used geometric shapes, stepped forms and sweeping curves. Art Deco was seen to be glamorous, elegant, functional and modern. The influence of the Art Deco movement can be seen all over the world in architecture, interior design an industrial design, some prime examples include the Empire State and Chrysler building in New York city and the interior of the Queen Mary ocean liner.

With such a huge influence on design it is not surprising that Art Deco can be found in architectural hardware products. At Shop4handles we are able to offer a number of products which feature typical Art Deco design.

Lever on rose with popular Art Deco stepped form design

Perhaps where the design is most evident is on lever handles. We have a number of brass, chrome and satin chrome levers on a rose and levers on backplate which all have outstanding Art Deco features.

Product Range

One of the most spectacular ranges available from Frank Allart is the Art Deco range, which as we all know was one of the livliest and stylish designs of the 20th century.

Art Deco Range

As well as the spectacular art deco range, Frank Allart also offer a number of traditional and modern designs throughout their range of lever handles, mortice knobs, front door furniture, window fittings and other architectural ironmongery products.

We sadly regret that due to our extremely competitive prices we are forbidden by Frank Allart to offer any of their products online. Also much of their range is bespoke and manufactured to order so it is best to check the time it will take before you place an order for their ironmongery. We can and do supply many of their products via mail order however, so if you have any questions or queries relating to any Frank Allart products please feel free to call us on our freefone number.
