DESCRIPTION Our popular Holkham Door Handle range takes its inspiration from a heritage of great British design, incorporating traditional detailing with the best modern materials and handcrafted skills to produce a great quality handle that will look fabulous for years to come. The Holkham is a classic handle available in a variety of backplate styles and our forged iron and antiqued brass finishes to ensure it suits any style of door. The Ilkley backplate has straight, bevelled edges and corner notches, perfect for traditional and contemporary doors. This Holkham is made from high quality steel that is dipped in hot beeswax to blacken the metal look and produce a traditional forged iron finish that will never date. The handles are supplied as a pair with backplates and fixing screws in the same finish. They are sprung on one side and are supplied with a 75mm length spindle that can be cut down to size. We can supply a 90mm spindle upon request. We do not recommend our Beeswax finish for bathrooms or outdoor use as it will rust in a humid environment. We feel that Matt Black is the preferable option. Product Information Backplate Dimensions: 10cm H x 5cm W Plate: A short plate can be used for any door where a lock is not required, or where a lock is separate from the backplate. Knowledge Base Guides Locks, Latches and Bespoke Handles How To Care For Beeswax Products Finish Beeswax: A traditional technique used since Tudor times. The metal is heated until it darkens and then dipped in natural beeswax which gives is a lovely soft black wrought iron effect which looks fabulous in any traditional or contemporary interior. As beeswax is a natural finish that reacts with the underlying metal during the forging process, it often has a subtle, slightly mottled patina with undertones of deep grey or ochre. It is not waterproof, so will need to be rewaxed occasionally. Sign up to our newsletter
