Pair of Guimard Porcelain Door Handles
The pair of Guimard door handles made of Limoges porcelain is one of our must-have items. The dynamic shape of this doorknob is the result of a unique creative process. Hector Guimard modeled it by pressing a lump of clay in his left hand to give it its general shape, then in his right hand, imprinting his thumb and index finger into it. The rosettes and lock plate are made of porcelain.

Description
The pair of Guimard door handles made of Limoges porcelain is one of our must-have items.
The original version of the doorknob, created in 1897 by Hector Guimard, a master of Art Nouveau, served as the model for its reproduction as part of the 2000 restoration of Castel Béranger, a building located on Rue la Fontaine in Paris’s 16th arrondissement, built between 1895 and 1898, and designated a historic monument. Hector Guimard is best known for designing the entrances to the Paris Metro.
The dynamic shape of this doorknob is the result of a unique creative process. Hector Guimard shaped it by pressing a lump of clay in his left hand to give it its general form, then in his right hand, imprinting his thumb and index finger into it. The knob can thus be handled with either hand and used on either side of the door. This knob clearly expresses its functionality and also foreshadows gestural art.
Please note that this model is intended for indoor use only and cannot be installed outdoors. However, we have no doubt that it will enhance your interior décor with its Art Nouveau style.
