What a great treasure!!!! These very, old door handles came from an old Victorian villa in Germany. I recently found a couple of these and I must have them. They are all cleaned from the old ugly thick paint and now they looks incredible. They are heavy embossed and the best on is the Cherub head with wings on top and below there is a devil ( or Krampus ) head. They are from cast iron and measure ca. 10" from the cherub to the devil. The door handle is complet like the picture it shows. (I guarantee for their age)

ca. 1880
