WN1105: Fonteyn Surface Espagnolette
PRODUCT STORY
Our surface mounted Cremone (Espagnolette) bolts have been meticulously crafted to enhance the sophisticated aesthetic of French doors and windows featuring slender profiles.
Available are configurations of locking/non-locking and with cranked rod options. You can also have a lever handle on the external side of the door alongside a lock that is only accessible from the inside, ensuring practicality and security.
What's more, our innovative (patent pending) design eliminates the need for precise rod measurements, as they can be easily trimmed to the desired length on-site.
We’ve paired this with our Fonteyn lever handle:
The slender form of the Fonteyn follows the uniquely distinctive lines of a handle designed by Italian architect Gio Ponti. As beautiful as the original handle was, the size did not suit many of the modern-day door proportions. We have recreated this timeless masterpiece, being careful to stay true to the original form whilst carefully increasing the proportions.
The delicate form and perfect balance are synonymous with that of a ballerina, hence this design is fittingly named after Margot Fonteyn. Her supreme command of ballet earned her the status of Prima Ballerina Assoluta, as appointed by the Queen; cementing her as an icon of elegance and agility.
