How it is made

Västmanland, Sweden

The only object here that is fixed to a building rather than set on it. Specified by the door, so measure before you order.

A handle is the one piece of a room that everyone touches and nobody photographs. Ten years in, the patina maps exactly where hands go.

I The mould

River sand fine enough to hold an edge is packed around a pattern, then the flask is split and the pattern withdrawn.

II The pour

Brass is brought to a little over a thousand degrees and poured in one continuous movement. Hesitation shows in the finished surface.

III The break

The mould is destroyed to release a single casting. Each one is made from sand that has never held this shape before.

IV The hand

Only what must be worked is worked. The cast surface keeps the grain of the sand it was formed against.

This object

Cast as two halves per pull, brazed, then the bearing face is hand-worked.

A brass works running on the same river since 1607, founded to end a national dependence on imported metal.
