Custom Hardware: Door Lever With An Ornate Rose Featuring Frank Allart
Our client’s homeowner wanted a soft, elegant lever to work with their home’s design that included combinations of classic ornate architectural pieces such as antique and vintage mantels and antique carved pilasters. The hardware needed to complement those pieces, so the architects at Craig & Company elected to pair a flattened, faceted lever with the minimal rose they designed featuring ornate floral and scroll details to reference architectural motifs throughout the residence. We take you through the production process, from initial sketch, 3D render/print, to the final production pieces.
Sketches and notes from the project architect explaining the design and flow of the scrolls that will be hand finished.
Several 3D renders were produced before the final iteration was finished.
