Pair of large Mongolian or Chinese door handles – (4934)
[4934]

Pair of door handles shaped like monster masks with bulging cheeks and eyes. The material from which they were made is bronze and the matching rings are brass. One of the nuts used to attach the rings on the doors was missing when we acquired this unique set, but we were lucky to find a new fitting nut. We acquired these door handles from a Mongolian so we believe that they were made in the north of China or Mongolia. They date from the 19th century. Diameter mask 14.2 cm. Total length including ring 17.5 cm. Weight of the two handles together 1035 grams.
