Default Why SO MUCH for a door pull (piece of metal)

Hi,

Is there an explanation for the price (other than supply-demand) for
an item like this:

http://www.signaturehardware.com/product3964

which is essentiall a piece of metal?

I've seen slightly more elaborate pieces of metals for over $800.

I guess the real question is where could I find ORB door pulls for a
more reasonable price (e.g. 1/20th)


My conjecture would be that they're small volume item w/ quite a lot of
hand work targeted to an also small-volume market that is essentially
100% discretionary spending driven.

As for the second, no clue...
