Philip Watts, Artemis door handle

[Acquire Product]

Emerging from the creative workshops of Nottingham, the Artemis Lever Handle is a sculptural triumph that redefines the threshold of the home. It is an object with a weighted physical soul, cast in solid brass and finished with a semi-aged patina that deepens its character. Philip Watts drew direct inspiration from the fluid lines of the decorative arts and the Art Nouveau movement to create this beautiful, feminine, wing-shaped form. By placing your hand upon this lever, you are interacting with a permanent record of British craftsmanship, where industrial utility is elevated to a high-art experience.

The design of the Artemis serves as a stable pillar for an architectural interior, offering a tactile fluidity that feels natural to the grip while presenting a striking visual silhouette. Its sweeping, organic curves provide a sense of movement to a stationary door, creating a sophisticated atmosphere that bridges the gap between historical ornament and modern luxury. There is a grounded rhythmic joy in the solid, mechanical operation of the handle, a testament to the uncompromising quality that Philip Watts Design is known for globally. This piece delivers a distinguished presence to any room, offering a level of bespoke detail that remains like nothing else in the world of high-end door furniture.
