Loved the simple, yet elegant style. Bakelite handles pair well with the bronze patina and the wood maybe teak. Just so much fun. They have a Wiener Werkstätte style and work well with Arts & Crafts, Art Nouveau and Modernism.

The Wiener Werkstätte ("Vienna Workshop"), established in 1903 by the graphic designer and painter Koloman Moser, the architect Josef Hoffmann and the patron Fritz Waerndorfer, was a productive association in Vienna, Austria that brought together architects, artists, designers and artisans working in ceramics, fashion, silver, furniture and the graphic arts.[1] The Workshop was "dedicated to the artistic production of utilitarian items in a wide range of media, including metalwork, leatherwork, bookbinding, woodworking, ceramics, postcards and graphic art, and jewelry."
