Antique Bronze Cabinet Knobs

Antique bronze cabinet knobs for traditional and farmhouse rooms

Antique bronze is a mid-to-dark brown with the high points rubbed back so the shape of the knob shows through the finish. The relieving is the whole point: a uniform dark knob reads as a silhouette, while an antiqued one reads as an object. That makes it a natural fit on panelled doors, distressed cabinetry and anywhere the room is already leaning traditional rather than modern.

Who makes the antique bronze knobs here

Schaub and Company supplies most of this page, with Atlas Homewares and Century Hardware behind it. Schaub is a decorative maker, so expect sculpted and distressed profiles rather than plain production shapes - the style tags on this page run traditional and classic. Because the finish is applied by hand on many of these pieces, small variation between knobs is normal and is part of the look.

Sizes and installation

These are standard decorative knob diameters in the region of 1-1/4 to 1-3/8 inches, mounted with a single screw. There is no center-to-center measurement to match, unlike a pull. Do check screw length against your drawer front thickness before ordering, since thicker fronts and applied mouldings need a longer screw than the one supplied.

Antique bronze against oil rubbed bronze

Antique bronze also sits comfortably beside unlacquered brass and copper accents, since all three are warm and all three show their wear. Oil rubbed bronze is darker and closer to black; antique bronze is browner and shows more of its high points. Under warm light they can look similar in a photograph and clearly different in the hand, which is why finish names alone are a poor way to match hardware across brands. Antique bronze pulls in farmhouse kitchens and the hardware finishes guide both cover how the bronze family splits up.
