#doorHandle

Salve #Doorsday! 🎊🚪🎊

This week, I have more fancy #door #handles for you! This door is from #Magdeburg's #Catholic #Cathedral – St. Sebastian. It's only steps from our famous Dom cathedral (which is a Protestant #church), but quite overlooked. What is not to be overlooked are the handles, both outside and inside. 💅🏼

Edit: Since you may not be familiar with the chalk writings on the door: These are blessings from star singers – children calling on doors on 6 January to sing and collect donations for charity. They bless the house every year by writing "20 * C + M + B + [year]" above the door with chalk. It stands for "Christus mansionem benedictat" or "May Christ bless this house". 😉

A photograph shows a church door, set within a stone archway. The door is made of dark metal, with a weathered, greenish patina. Inscriptions, including what appear to be dates and symbols like '20*C+M+B', are written on the door in white chalk. A simple latch secures the door. The stone archway is made of light-coloured stone, creating a contrast with the dark door. The lighting suggests an exterior shot, with the door as the central focus.A close-up photograph shows a section of a weathered, metallic door, likely made of bronze or a similar material with a green and brown patina. Affixed to the door are ornate, sculpted door handles. On the left, a winged figure, possibly an angel or cherub, is depicted in flight above a large, detailed fish. To the right, another handle shows a more abstract, possibly grotesque, figure. The door also features raised, spherical studs arranged around the decorative elements. A keyhole is visible beneath the fish. The overall impression is of an antique and intricately designed door.A close-up photograph shows a wooden door with a distinctive, ornate door handle. The handle is shaped like a hand gripping a cylindrical bar, finished in a metallic gold colour. The door itself is made of weathered wood, showing its age and texture, with a dark, circular fitting around the base of the handle. The overall impression is of a unique and somewhat creepy design detail on an old door.

We're enjoying a 4-day weekend and are off to meet friends (and maybe find inspiration for today's photo prompt), so I don't have time for an epic #Doorsday post. Instead, here's the visitor's entrance to #Magdeburg Cathedral, in all its old, crooked, metal glory. Simple, and not that beautiful, but would you look at the #door #handle! 😱

Have a good bank holiday today – if you're lucky enough to have the day off 😬

A decorative metal handle and escutcheon are visible on the left side. The door is set within a frame of similar dark, textured metal.The image shows a close-up of a weathered, dark metal door.

A decorative metal handle and escutcheon, featuring a bird-shaped handle and a design of birds on branches, are visible on the left side of the door. When using the door handle, it looks like the bird that forms the handle is feeding the smaller birds below.

This is a beautiful little detail on the door of Glasgow University's Graham Kerr Building. Designed by J.J.Burnet and built in the 1920s, it was originally constructed as the Zoology Building.

Love the shape of this door handle, as well as the patina and wear on it. It's on one of John James Burnet's grand late Victorian townhouses on University Gardens in the West End of Glasgow.

Love these door handles on a townhouse on Saint Vincent Street in central Glasgow. The house itself was build in the 1820s, but I think these are Art Nouveau in style and date from refurbishments in the 1890s.

Love the shape of this door handle on Glasgow University's West Medical Building, which was designed by James Miller and was built in 1903. The patina on it is pretty good, too!

Love these door pulls on the 1890s former Sun Life Building on West George Street in Glasgow, especially the little putti clinging on to them!
