Colombo Design Louis XVI KLU26: 232 mm offset brass pull handle
Louis XVI KLU26 is an offset door pull handle from the Colombo Design Antologhia collection, made of brass and featuring an overall length of 232 mm with 175 mm fixing centres.
Unlike the straight KLU16 version, KLU26 uses an offset configuration that positions the gripping section further away from the door surface. It retains the distinctive Louis XVI character, with compact proportions and carefully hand-chiselled decorative detailing.

Offset configuration for increased clearance
The defining feature of KLU26 is its offset form. The gripping section is positioned away from the fixing axis, providing increased clearance between the handle and the door surface.
This clearly differentiates KLU26 from the straight Louis XVI KLU16 while retaining the same compact 232 mm overall length and the distinctive decorative language of the series.
Empire-inspired design with compact proportions
Louis XVI interprets historical architectural hardware through ordered classical lines, restrained proportions and carefully worked decorative details associated with the Empire style.
The compact format makes KLU26 suitable for classical timber doors and restoration projects where a traditional pull handle is required without excessive visual bulk.
Fixing options
The Antologhia catalogue provides different mounting configurations for KLU26. The KLU26NP version uses surface fixing with exposed screws, while KLU26PS is supplied with single through-fixing hardware and internal cover nuts.
The appropriate fixing system should therefore be selected according to the door thickness, construction and installation requirements.
Traditional Italian craftsmanship
Louis XVI belongs to Colombo Design's Antologhia collection, a Made in Italy range dedicated to the reinterpretation of historic architectural hardware. Its manufacture combines traditional casting and finishing methods with a significant element of manual craftsmanship, chiselled detailing and hand finishing.
Slight porosity, texture or minor surface variations may occur as a natural consequence of these traditional processes and are consistent with the handcrafted character of the collection.
Natural finishes and ageing
The product page offers bronze, natural brass and natural unlacquered silver finishes.
Natural untreated metal surfaces may gradually change in colour and appearance through handling, exposure and ageing. Natural unlacquered brass, in particular, gradually oxidises and develops its characteristic surface patina.
