Iver Sarlat Lever Door Handle – Shouldered Plate – 250 x 48mm – Matte Black

The Iver Sarlat Lever Door Handle on Shouldered Backplate in Matte Black combines French Provincial-inspired detailing with the crisp contrast of a black finish. The Sarlat’s distinctive fluted lever, ornamental ring detail and decorative tip are paired with a shouldered backplate, giving this version a more substantial architectural presence than a simple lever on a rose.We particularly like this combination for Hamptons, French Provincial, modern farmhouse and classic interiors. Matte Black gives the traditional Sarlat profile a more contemporary edge, making it a great choice when you want character in your door hardware without using a brass or polished finish.Why Choose the Sarlat Shouldered Backplate?The shouldered backplate beautifully frames the decorative Sarlat lever and gives the handle a stronger, more traditional appearance. It’s an excellent choice if you want your door hardware to become part of the architecture of the room rather than simply disappear into the door.Made from forged brass, the Sarlat has the solid feel you’d expect from quality architectural hardware. The Matte Black finish looks particularly striking against white and neutral doors, natural timber and lighter Hamptons-style interiors, while also working well within darker, more contemporary schemes.Which Handle Function Do I Need?The Sarlat Shouldered Backplate is available in different configurations for internal, privacy and locking doors. Select the function you need from the options above, or use our Iver door handle function guide if you’re unsure which option is right for your door.Replacing Existing Door Handles?The long backplate can be useful when replacing existing door furniture because it may cover old screw holes or marks left by the previous handle. However, we always recommend removing one existing handle before ordering so you can check the holes underneath, backset, fixing positions and existing latch or lock.Our guide to replacing existing door handles explains what to check before choosing your new hardware.Carry the Sarlat Look Throughout Your HomeSarlat is a whole-of-home collection, so you don’t have to stop at the door handles. The Iver Sarlat Collection includes coordinating pull handles and cabinet hardware, allowing you to carry the same distinctive detailing through entrance doors, internal doors, kitchen cabinetry, bathroom vanities and other joinery.This is one of the reasons we particularly like Sarlat for Hamptons and French Provincial projects: you can create a consistent hardware scheme throughout the home rather than trying to match unrelated designs room by room.Finish care: Iver’s Matte Black is a durable finish. Clean it regularly with a soft damp cloth and keep it dry, taking care not to scratch or chip the surface as this can expose the brass underneath.Explore the complete Sarlat Collection, browse more Iver hardware, or compare other lever door handles for your project.
