Description
Solid brass, hand-hammered one at a time
Each knob is turned from a single piece of solid brass, then hand-hammered so the surface carries small irregular facets that catch the light as you walk past. There is no plating and no hollow shell — brass all the way through, with the weight to prove it (the 35 mm knob alone is 179 g).
Because the knob is round, the underside is machined with a small flat, so it seats tight against the door or drawer face and pulls down squarely — no base plate, no rocking.
Why solid brass
- Solid brass, not plated — substantial in the hand, naturally durable, and built to outlast the furniture it dresses. No plating to flake, chip or peel.
- Hand-hammered texture — every piece carries the subtle, unrepeatable marks of the hammer, so no two are exactly alike.
- Flattened base for a flush fit — the round form is machined flat on the underside so it mounts tight and wobble-free.
- Threaded body — the mounting screw threads straight into the brass, so there is no loose ferrule to work free.
- Polished finish — a clean, bright surface that wipes back to a mirror shine, or can be left to develop a soft living patina.
- 4 sizes in stock — 18 / 25 / 30 / 35 mm diameter, with mounting screw included.
A finish that ages into something better
Left unsealed, every knob develops its own patina. In the first weeks the bright gold warms to a soft honey tone, then deepens over the months into the mellow antique bronze collectors love — never dull, never flaking, just richer with time. It is the opposite of plated hardware that chips and peels. Prefer the shine? A quick wipe with brass polish (or lemon juice and salt) brings the original gleam straight back. The patina is entirely yours to keep or reset.
How to choose your size
All four sizes are round and share the same flat, threaded base, so they can be mixed freely along one run of cabinets without looking mismatched. Choose by the diameter across the widest point:
- 18 × 17 mm — a delicate accent for jewellery boxes, small drawers and shutters.
- 25 × 24 mm — the everyday classic for kitchen and bathroom cabinets.
- 30 × 29 mm — a confident statement for wardrobes and sideboards.
- 35 × 34 mm — bold and substantial for entry doors, armoires and feature furniture.
Diameter is measured across the widest point; height is measured from the mounting surface to the top of the knob.

Care
Wipe with a soft dry cloth. Brass darkens naturally with handling and air, which is exactly what many buyers want; to restore the shine, use a little brass polish, or a soft cloth with lemon juice and salt. Avoid abrasive pads and ammonia-based cleaners, which scratch the polished surface.

FAQ
- Do I need special tools? No. Drill a 4 mm hole, push the mounting screw through from the back and thread the knob on by hand.
- Why is the base flattened? Because the knob is round, a small flat is machined on the underside so the sphere seats flush against the panel — a firm, wobble-free mount without a separate base plate.
- Will the brass tarnish? Yes, naturally, deepening to a warm antique tone. This is normal and reversible: polish and the shine returns. We leave it unsealed so the patina develops.
