Door handles, knobs…

Just a few pictures from a walk in my new neighbourhood, occupied by buildings which mostly have a few years of history.

Maybe some extra comments… There are some extravagant handles on two Lavirotte buildings (see previous post). One of the lizards on the door of 151 rue de Grenelle was obviously once stolen. It has been replaced by a copy of the one you can find 29 avenue Rapp. Did the stolen one look the same?

Some neighbouring buildings in the same street, same year of construction, same architect, may have similar handles, but different care gives different looks.

Some handles may need less frequent polishing by the concierge, being self-polished.

I was struck by the decoration of this basically quite modest building, 22 rue Fabert.
