Colombo Design Settecento KSE11R: brass door handle on rose

Settecento KSE11R is an interior door handle from the Colombo Design Antologhia collection, made of brass and supplied in a traditional round rose-mounted configuration.

The model recalls the early development of interior architectural hardware through a simple, restrained design and compact proportions. Its reduced dimensions make Settecento particularly suitable for classical double-leaf doors, where balanced and unobtrusive hardware is especially important.

Main specifications

Simple historically inspired design

Settecento reflects a period in which the door handle was evolving from a purely functional object into an integral part of the interior. Its design remains intentionally restrained, with clear forms and carefully balanced proportions.

The rose-mounted configuration gives the composition an even lighter appearance than the backplate version and allows the lever itself to remain the principal visual element.

Compact proportions for double-leaf doors

One of the defining features of Settecento is its compact dimensional format. This is particularly useful on double-leaf doors, where two opposing handles require carefully controlled proportions to maintain a balanced appearance.

45 mm round rose and return spring

The KSE11R version is mounted on a 45 mm round rose and incorporates a return spring. The family also includes a low-rose configuration without an integrated spring.

The actual lock mechanism and door specification should always be checked before installation.

Traditional Italian craftsmanship

Settecento belongs to Colombo Design's Antologhia collection, a Made in Italy range dedicated to the reinterpretation of historic architectural hardware. Its manufacture combines traditional techniques, including casting and finishing processes, with a significant element of manual craftsmanship and hand finishing.

Slight porosity, texture or minor surface variations may occur as a natural consequence of these traditional 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, contributing to the authentic appearance traditionally associated with period architectural hardware.
