About this work
Door handle of tinned iron decorated with engravings. The mount from the hinge is as follows: a straight beginning; a nodus with two jester heads looking outward; a narrow baluster-shaped rod from which several leaf motifs emerge towards the end, curling into volutes. In the middle, two jester heads face each other. The whole ends in a pointed leaf with two curling vines on either side.
