brass handle

Golden-toned door pull

A brass handle is a grip or pulling mechanism made from brass, the yellowish copper-zinc alloy.

Brass handles appear on doors, drawers, cabinets, and furniture, valued for their durability and warm metallic appearance: The antique dresser had its original brass handles.

They're common in traditional and nautical design.
