lacreni:petermorwood:What gets me about all this ornamental work is that it’s on a part of the door so seldom seen unless the door was left open all the time, which seems a bit improbable. And yet there it is, ready to be admired for what, two seconds? during every open-and-close cycle.The first thought is Why?The second thought is Why Not?I’ve seen this sort of detailing on door hardware a couple of times, always on older buildings (1860-1890’s?). I’ve always thought the somewhat hidden and unexpected location of the detail makes it more beautiful than it would have been otherwise. -- source link
