Antique Copper Cabinet Pulls

Antique copper cabinet pulls with real depth

Antique copper is a warm pink-brown that has been darkened and then relieved, so the raised areas glow and the recesses stay deep. It is the warmest finish on a cabinet door short of a living copper, and unlike a living finish it arrives already aged and stays where it is. Against green, navy, cream and natural wood cabinetry it looks settled rather than new.

Who makes the antique copper pulls here

Notting Hill Hardware supplies most of this page, with Top Knobs behind it. Notting Hill casts sculpted nature and ornamental motifs rather than plain shapes, which is why this page carries intricate pulls, nature pulls, cup pulls and curved pulls alongside standard profiles and a solid block of appliance pulls. Style tags run Arts and Crafts, rustic, nature and ornamental.

Drill centers and sizing

The most common spacing here is 3 inch center to center, the American standard, with 3-3/4, 7, 8, 10 and 12 inch centers for wider drawers and appliance fronts. Measure center to center between your existing screw holes before ordering a replacement. On a new run, a pull at roughly a third of the drawer width is a dependable proportion to start from.

Antique copper against bronze

Bronze is browner and cooler; antique copper carries a clear pink-orange cast that shows most under incandescent light. The two are often cross-shopped and they do not substitute for one another in a room. Copper also mixes comfortably with black hardware, which is the easiest way to use it without committing a whole kitchen. Because the finish is relieved rather than uniform, sculpted shapes show it off far better than a plain bar does - the depth needs somewhere to collect. Copper pulls in eclectic kitchens shows the finish at work.
