In the second half of the 19th century, Copenhagen experienced a strong population growth and a consequent boom in construction. Brokvartererne and Frederiksberg shot up, and especially the properties in Frederiksberg and Østerbro were furnished with large and stately apartments, and the same was true in the province.
The type of housing where door handles are of course made of brass, which then as now is the most exclusive solution. Søe-Jensen & Co. grew with this construction boom, and we know for sure that our products have been used in a large part of these new buildings, as well as in buildings and dwellings built up through the 20th century.
