46" Vintage Steel Handrail

* FREE shipping to anywhere in the US.

Rare, antique handrail salvaged from a circa 1920's home in Dunmore, PA. The rail is made of steel and is painted white.

It has 2 thicker, vertical, square rods at both ends, and 7 thinner square and twisted vertical spindles in between. There are several, thinner, S-shaped pieces in the middle for decoration.

This piece is quite unusual because its handrail not only curves at the end, but it also curves out at the other end. This must have been at the top of a 1-step landing.

Unlike modern, hollow handrails, you could feel the strength and weight of this piece as soon as you grab it. If you're going to lean or put your weight on the handrail, you not only want it to have the capacity to do so, but you also want it to give you a sense that you could trust it. This handrail is definitely the type to give you that peace of mind.

The handrail is completely, straight, intact, and in great condition with no breaks, cracks, dents, or gouges. There are spots of rust where there is paint missing, but it's all surface-level corrosion; no rot. It's strong, sturdy, and ready for another lifetime of service.

Dimensions:

  • Width of handrail is 45.5" and the body is 43". If you include the horizontal piece which sticks out from the side, the width is 46.5"
     
  • Height: 29"
     
  • Depth of handrail is 2" and the 2 thick vertical end posts are 1" square
     
  • Spacing is 5.25" between the end posts and the nearest spindles and 4.25" between the rest of the vertical spindles
     
  • Weight is about 40lbs
