This handrail has been salvaged in 2014 by our team from the former headquarters of the Générale de Banque (now BNP Paribas Fortis). The building, constructed between 1968 and 1979, was located on the Warandeberg in Brussels. Two renowned Belgian designers from that period, Jules Wabbes and Christophe Gevers, were commissioned to design the interiors. They are both well-known for their meticulous approach to craftsmanship and distinctive use of high-quality, timeless materials. Each salvaged item has developed its own unique patina during its time in use.
The product features a brushed stainless steel handrail with sand-cast solid bronze end caps and mural attachments. Mural attachments are included in the price (all handrails with length 228 cm and upwards have 3 attachments, below just 2). The wall attachments are not included for the 203 cm long handrails.

Diameter | 3,8 cm |
Used condition. There are a fews scratches, corrosion traces and tiny chips. The sand-casting method has given the bronze pieces a rough finish with minor surface irregularities and texture differences that are inherent to the casting process. Dusty, needs to be cleaned.
Please note: this hardware is unique and has been salvaged from a bespoke project, meaning each piece may require specific additional work to reinstall. As the items are non-standard and the original mounting system is not included, some adaptation of fixings may be necessary. The handrail can easily be mounted on any solid wall with help of a threaded rod M8 (not included but available in any hardware store).
