About the Item

This handcrafted copper and brass door handle embodies the spirit of Italian mid-century design. Created in the 1950s–1960s, a period when Paolo De Poli redefined the language of decorative metalwork, the piece transforms a simple object into a small work of art. With its contrasting surfaces — one side finished in mottled, patinated copper and the other glowing in a green-gold enamel effect — the handle is both tactile and sculptural. It reflects light differently depending on the angle, offering a sense of movement and depth that changes throughout the day.
