Stunning 19th Century Thumb Latch Door Handle

This majestic door handle has aged to become a stunning mix of color and finish!  Originally cast of bronze with a silver or nickel plating it now shows a mix of both dark caramel bronze and the remains of the silver color.  With some verdigris for a mellow blue green cast in the crevices this is a real eye catcher!  The artistic metal work provides a magnificent showcase to display it all.  

In addition to its use on a door, wouldn’t it make a perfect garden gate handle?

Overall length 10-5/8”
