I have found casement bolt for crémone, but where does the handle come in? And what is the difference between crémone and béquille (lever handle)?

For info:
Cremona bolt - A vertical bolt used to secure double casement doors or windows (i.e. double-door hardware). It has two half-bolts that slide in opposite directions at the same time, one up, one down, to enter holes in the head of the door frame and in the floor. ...They are a precision device that originated in Cremona, the city of Italy ...
[Scott / Penguin Dict. of Building]
i.e. its the locking mechanism for the older style of French windows, with an oval-shaped handle to turn to move the bolts.
I'm not sure whether your window actually has a cremona bolt or just a "poignée" resembling that of a cremona bolt. If the latter, it would be "knob", as opposed to a "(lever) handle".

Note that an \"espagnolette bolt\" or \"shutter bolt\" is a similar locking device, only the \"bolt\" is a one-piece rod from top to bottom, with hooks on each each. A handle (as opposed to a knob) is used to rotate the rod, thereby engaging/disengaging the hooks in/from fittings on the window/door frame. Again, there is a distinction between a \"handle\" and a \"knob\", for which the common word in French is \"poignée\".

Interestingly, the American \"Dict. of Architecture and Construction\" (ed. Cyril M. Harris, McGHill], gives not \"cremona\" but :
cremone bolt, cremorne bolt

définition de crémone
for now, here's the definition (turns out a crémone includes a poignée). I hope it helps a bit.
CRÉMONE. n. f. Ferrure qui règne du haut en bas du châssis d'une fenêtre et sert à la fermer et à l'ouvrir au moyen d'une poignée.
I'll see if I can find an actual translation.

I think this relates to it too, it\'s a type of window mecanism:
\"Up and Down Sash includes Double Hung and Single Hung\"
