TT1100: Fonteyn Thumb Turn - Round Stepped Rose
PRODUCT STORY
The delicate form and perfect balance of the Fonteyn design are synonymous with that of a ballerina, hence this design is fittingly named after Margot Fonteyn. Her supreme command of ballet earned her the status of Prima Ballerina Assoluta, as appointed by the Queen; cementing her as an icon of elegance and agility.
There are two sizes of rose backplates available, enabling designers to choose between having a symmetrical size rose to that of a lever or doorknob, or having a smaller size. A smaller rose creates an aesthetical hierarchy between the main feature (lever or knob), with the more discreet feature being the thumb turn.
