Rosettes 48 mm zinc die-cast warded lock (2 handle rosettes and 2 key rosettes)
In contrast to today's standard protective plates, this rosette set has two separate rosettes for each side of the door: two for the handle hole and two for the keyhole. This is a particular advantage for old doors, as the spacing can be freely selected. The rosettes are made of nickel-plated and polished zinc die-cast and are designed for lever handles with a square section of 8 x 8 mm, the standard size for today's interior doors, and for warded locks. Made in Switzerland.
Zinc die-casting started during the first third of the 19th century; up until the early 20th century it played an important role in interior design.

More details
Fittings zinc die-cast. From Switzerland.
The high fluidity of molten zinc and its relatively homogeneous alloy (with little copper and magnesium) make zinc diecasting (or zamak) particularly suitable for the casting of fine shapes and the high polishing of surfaces. Zinc die casting has been largely displaced by alumium in households. Here, the material formerly significant in interior design returns in the form of beautiful, clear door and window handles, once nickel-plated and polished, once painted black.
