Metal handles
Long before the origins of metalwork, metals were mainly used for the purposes of jewellery, lanterns, latches, hinges, hooks and utensils. It was only during the early Medieval period that the metalwork started to come in light. Iron was the first few of them used with the polish of golden and silver.
The doors of the forts and royal mansions would be carved with elaborate ornamented locks, often decorated with jewels and enamel. The jewellery cabinets of women would be decorated with ornate metal hardware such as rosettes. By the end of the English era, iron was the most used metal from thumb-latch designs to decorative hardware.
Post 19th century, followed by the invention of processes like brazing and soldering, bronze, a metal alloy started to take flight in the hardware market along with its cousin, brass. During this period, both bronze and brass became popular choices for metallic trimworks, ornate style cabinet hardware, door rose plates and hinge leaves.
Carrying forward the tradition of historic metalwork and blending it with delicate old age artistry, Indianshelf brings this stunning collection of metal handles in iron, bronze and brass.
