Antique 19th Century Coffin Handle

Antique 19th century Victorian coffin handle

This antique iron handle was once mounted on a coffin and was unearthed during the excavation of old burial sites. Adorned with a skull and crossbones, it features a striking gothic design, making it a truly distinctive piece.

After spending over a century underground, the iron has oxidized, developing a rich patina that enhances its raw, timeworn charm.

This unique artifact would make a fascinating addition to any cabinet of curiosities, but it could also serve as an extraordinary handle for cabinets or drawers, adding a macabre yet elegant touch to your decor.

To preserve its character, the handle has been carefully cleaned and treated with antique wax, providing a protective layer and a subtle sheen. Despite its age, it still hinges properly and remains functional.
