Product description
Designer door handle (push plate with ceramic ornament) Period: circa 1970 Material: Cast anodized aluminum with a mirror-polished finish; Centrally inlaid ceramic relief in black, brown, and red glazes Dimensions: 23 × 16 × 8 cm Origin: Presumably Western Europe (possibly the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, or Italy) Style: Brutalist / Space Age / Studio Ceramics 🔹 Stylistic Characteristics and Comparison The ceramic inlay, with its thick glaze layers, relief structure, and intense colors, is strongly reminiscent of studio ceramics from the 1960s–1970s, related to designers such as: Helmut Friedrich Schäffenacker (Germany) Jean Rivier of Accolay Ceramics (France) Mobach of Carstens Atelier (Netherlands/Germany) The geometric pattern with openings and red glaze accents aligns with the Brutalist and abstract architectural design language popular at the time in buildings, furniture, and handles for luxury interiors. The solid mounting structure indicates its use as a door pusher for heavy glass or metal doors—for example, in banks, hotels, or public buildings from that period. 🔹 Condition Aluminum frame: minor surface scratches, no deformations Bolts and screws: partially slightly oxidized (normal for its age) Ceramics: intact, glaze intact, no chips or cracks → Overall condition: very good, original, and fully functional.
