Colombo Design Impero KIM11PB: brass door handle on backplate

Impero KIM11PB is an interior door handle from the Colombo Design Antologhia collection, made of brass and supplied in a traditional backplate-mounted configuration.

Impero reflects the traditional concept of the door handle as both a functional fitting and a decorative architectural element. The lever and backplate feature richly worked details with hand-chiselled finishing, giving the model its distinctive classical character.

Main specifications

Classical design and hand-chiselled detail

Impero is one of the more decorative designs within the Antologhia collection. Its hand-chiselled detailing gives the lever and backplate a richer surface character than the more restrained models in the range.

The backplate-mounted configuration creates a visually unified relationship between the lever and lock area, making the handle particularly suitable for traditional timber doors, classical interiors, period properties and architectural restoration projects.

Traditional Italian craftsmanship

Impero belongs to Colombo Design's Antologhia collection and reflects the company's Made in Italy manufacturing tradition. Traditional techniques are combined with a significant element of manual craftsmanship and hand finishing, particularly in the chiselled decorative details.

Slight porosity, texture or minor surface variations may occur as a natural consequence of these processes. Such characteristics are consistent with the handcrafted nature of the collection rather than the perfectly uniform appearance of fully standardised industrial production.

Natural finishes and ageing

The product page offers bronze, natural brass and natural unlacquered silver finishes. Unprotected metal surfaces may gradually change in colour and appearance through handling, exposure and natural ageing.

Natural unlacquered brass, in particular, gradually oxidises and develops its characteristic surface patina. This natural evolution contributes to the authentic appearance traditionally associated with period-style architectural hardware.

Choosing the correct version

The product page includes different backplate configurations according to the lock specification. Before ordering, the appropriate version should therefore be selected according to the keyhole type and the centre distance required by the door.
