Kay Fisker doorhandles

This rare set of door handles was designed by Kay Fisker and produced in Denmark during the 1940s, embodying the principles of Scandinavian functionalism that Fisker championed throughout his career. As a prominent Danish architect and designer, Fisker’s work is noted for its emphasis on simplicity, durability, and meticulous craftsmanship, qualities that are clearly evident in these handles.

Crafted from solid brass, the handles feature a gently curved form that balances ergonomic function with visual elegance. The design incorporates a rounded grip that tapers into a more angular section, creating a harmonious interplay between soft and sharp lines. Accompanying the handles are matching escutcheons with a circular profile, which complement the organic shape of the handles and contribute to a cohesive overall aesthetic.

Over time, the brass has developed a natural patina, enriching the warm tone of the material and enhancing the historic character of the set. The handles remain in good vintage condition, displaying signs of wear such as minor surface marks and oxidation consistent with age and regular use. This wear adds to their authenticity without compromising their structural integrity or design intent.
