The rarest and most singular finish in the Hempstock range, at its most commanding scale. The Hendel & Hendel Hempstock Pull Handle in Oil Rubbed Bronze — 448HC format — is a piece of hardware that transcends specification and becomes, quite simply, an object of exceptional character. At 511mm in length, the hand-finished Oil Rubbed Bronze surface has more than half a metre over which to reveal its depth, its warmth, and its living quality. No two handles are identical. No machine can replicate what time, touch, and the hand-finishing process create here. This is the most individual, most characterful, and most irreplaceable handle in the entire H&H portfolio.

Design & Application

At over half a metre in length, the hand-finished surface commands the door face with a presence that is entirely its own. Pair with reclaimed timber, aged leather, exposed stone, and natural textiles for a scheme of unparalleled material richness. Specify alongside the matching 448HC Hempstock range for a fully coordinated hardware statement that will only improve with the passage of time.
