Pair of Italian Shell Motif Brass Handles, 1950s
A pair of Italian brass handles from the 1950s, each shaped as a fan-like shell with a pull emerging from its base.
Deep ridges spread upward across the scalloped backplates, catching light along their raised edges and settling into darker tones between them. At the base, each handle curves outward into a smooth grip with tightly scrolled ends.
The brass has developed a warm, varied patina, with brighter gold across the high points and deeper color in the recesses. Small, visible mounting points sit within the shell design. Together, the two handles create a repeated motif suited to cabinet doors or a chest of drawers, bringing a sculptural detail to a surface.
