Our team was commissioned to design and manufacture intricately engraved cast brass push plates and pull handles for the residential areas of the refurbished Old War Office. This prestigious project required a focus on high-quality craftsmanship and attention to detail, ensuring that the new hardware complemented the historical significance of the building while meeting modern standards of functionality and durability.
The client sought beautifully crafted push plates and pull handles that would reflect the grandeur and historical essence of the Old War Office. The designs needed to incorporate intricate engravings that echoed the architectural features of the building, enhancing the luxurious feel of the residential areas. The final products had to provide both aesthetic appeal and reliable performance in a high-traffic environment.
One of the main challenges was achieving the level of detail required in the engravings while ensuring the components remained robust and functional. The intricate nature of the designs necessitated precise craftsmanship to ensure that the final products met the high standards expected in a luxury residential setting.
The project commenced with an extensive design phase, where our team worked closely with the client to finalize the design elements and engravings. Using advanced 3D modelling software, we created detailed renderings of the push plates and pull handles, incorporating elements that would resonate with the building’s historical narrative.
Once the designs were approved, we moved into the casting phase. Using high-quality brass, we cast the push plates and pull handles to achieve a solid, durable structure. The next step involved intricate hand engraving, where skilled artisans meticulously added the detailed designs to each piece. This labour-intensive process was essential for capturing the unique character of the hardware and ensuring that every piece was a work of art.
After engraving, each component underwent a finishing process to enhance its appearance and protect against wear. We applied a rich patina to the brass, giving it an antique look that harmonized with the building’s historical aesthetic while ensuring longevity in the residential areas.
The intricately engraved cast brass push plates and pull handles became standout features in the residential areas of the refurbished Old War Office. Their elegant designs and high-quality craftsmanship added a touch of luxury, perfectly complementing the building’s historic character.
The client expressed great satisfaction with the final results, highlighting how the bespoke hardware successfully combined historical authenticity with modern functionality. This project not only enhanced the aesthetic appeal of the residential spaces but also underscored the commitment to quality and craftsmanship that defines the Old War Office’s transformation.
The entire project was completed over a span of ten weeks, from initial design concepts to final installation. Throughout this period, we maintained open communication with the client to ensure that the project progressed smoothly and met their expectations.
